4 Components of Self Efficacy

3 Stages of Observational Learning
- Exposure
- Acquisition
- Acceptance
Acceptance
Whether the observer uses the modeling cues as a guide for his/her actions
Bobo Doll Study Conditions
- No consequences
- Model-Rewarded
- Model-Punished
Bobo Doll Results
- Girls behaved less aggressively than boys
- less acceptance of the model-punishment condition
- all kids demonstrated high acquisition
Four Categories of Variables that influence Observational Learning
- Attention Processes
- Retention Processes
- Motor Reproduction Processes
- Motivational Processes
Attention Processes
Characteristics of the Model
Characteristics of the Behavior
Characteristics of the Observer
Retention Processes
Imaginal Coding
Verbal Coding
Mental Rehersal
Motor Reproduction Processes
Prior Experience w/ overall behavior
ex: speed skaters taking up biking
Motivational Processes
Consequences, if model rewarded or punished
Modeling and Sex Role Acquisition
