What is Social Cognitive Theory? Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) is an interpersonal level theory developed by Albert Bandura that emphasizes the dynamic interaction between people (personal factors), their behavior, and their environments. This interaction is demonstrated by the construct
called Reciprocal Determinism. As seen in the figure below, personal factors, environmental factors, and behavior continuously interact through influencing and being influenced by each other. How to use Reciprocal Determinism: Consider multiple ways to change behavior; for example, targeting both knowledge and attitudes, and also making a change in the environment. Outcome Expectations

Who is the architect of social cognitive theory?Albert Bandura developed the Social Cognitive Theory based on the concept that learning is affected by cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors (Bandura, 1991).
Which of the following are components of Bandura's social cognitive model?Bandura recognized four processes that govern observational learning: (1) attention, or noticing what a model does; (2) representation, or symbolically representing new response patterns in memory; (3) behavior production, or producing the behavior that one observes; and (4) motivation; that is, the observer must be ...
Which of the following scenarios can best be described as an example of observational learning?Which of the following is an example of observational learning? A worker learns to fear the phone ringing because of a boss who yells over the phone.
Which of the following is defined as a situation in which the consequences of behavior lead to changes in the probability of the occurrence of that behavior?An operant response is a behavior that is modifiable by its consequences. When behavior is modified by its consequences, the probability of that behavior occurring again may either increase (in the case of reinforcement) or decrease (in the case of punishment).
