Observational learning requires attention to a model b) organization and retention c) behavior production and d) motivation to perform the behavior.
Bandura: ___ learning takes place when responses produce consequences.
Enactive
Bandura: ___ ___ ___ refers to the interaction of environmental events, behavior, and personal factors.
Triadic reciprocal causation
Bandura: Triadic reciprocal causation refers to the interaction of… what?
Environmental events, behavior, and personal factors.
Even Bandura Pees
Bandura: ___ ___ and __ ___ are two important factors influencing people’s lives in unplanned and unexpected ways.
Chance encounters (unintended meeting of unfamiliar ppl) and fortuitous events (unexpected environmental experience).
Bandura: ___ ___ means people can and do exercise control over their lives.

Bandura: ___ ___ occurs when people have the capacity to rely on others for services/goods.
Proxy agency.
Bandura: ___ ___ refers to confidence of groups, together, to produce social change.
Collective efficacy.
Bandura: People can self-regulate using internal and external factors. Give an example of internal factors.
a) Self-observation
b) Judgmental process (based on personal standards, standards of reference, value we place on activity)
c) Self-reaction – self-reinforcement or self-punishment.
Bandura: How do external factors affect self-regulation?
a) Provide standard for evaluating own behavior
b) Provide external reinforcement (e.g. praise)
Bandura: Through ___ ___ and disengagement of ___ ___, people can separate themselves from the consequences of their actions.
Selective activation and disengagement of internal control.
Bandura’s term for diffusion of responsibility for one’s actions
Disengagement of internal control.
Bandura: Self-regulation is not automatic – it operates only through a concept called ___ ___.
Selective activation
Bandura: Methods of selective activation and disengagement of internal control: a) ___ ___ b) displacing/diffusing responsibility c) disregarding/distorting consequences and d) blaming/dehumanizing the victims.
Redefining behavior
“Be Responsible, Don’t Blame.”
Bandura: Methods of selective activation and disengagement of internal control: a) redefining behavior b) ? c) disregarding/distorting consequences and d) blaming/dehumanizin the victims.
Displacing or diffusing responsibility
“Be Responsible, Don’t Blame.”
Bandura: Methods of selective activation and disengagement of internal control: a) redefining behavior b) displacing/diffusing responsibility c) ? and d) blaming/dehumanizin the victims.
Disregarding or distorting consequences
“Be Responsible, Don’t Blame.”
Bandura: Methods of selective activation and disengagement of internal control: a) redefining behavior b) displacing/diffusing responsibility c) disregarding/distorting consequences and d) ?
Blaming/dehumanizing the victims
“Be Responsible, Don’t Blame.”
Bandura: Depression, phobias and aggression are learned through the interaction of ___, ___ and ___.
Environment
Personal factors
Behavioral
Bandura: What three dysfunctional behaviors are learned through the triadic reciprocal causation model.
Depression, phobias and aggression
Bandura: Social cognitive therapy emphasizes cognitive mediation, especially perceived ____.
Self-efficacy
How do Skinner and Bandura differ in observational learning theories?
Skinner feels enactive behavior (learn by doing) is the basic datum.
Bandura discusses both enactive and observational learning.
T/F: Bandura felt that reinforcement is essential to learning.
False – observational learning works, too.
Bandura: What is an agentic perspective?
We’re not simply reactive organisms shaped by environmental forces or by inner impulses. We’re self-organizing, proactive, self-reflective and self-regulating.
How does Bandura differ from Skinner?
Five ways. Bandura:
• Recognizes that chance encounters & fortuitous events often shape behavior
• Places more emphasis on observational learning
• Stresses importance of cognitive factors in learning
• Felt that human activity is a function of behavior and person variables, as well as environment.
• Believes reinforcement is mediated by cognition.
Summarize Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory.
• Observational learning (learn w/o performing) requires
a) attention to a model
b) organization & retention of observations
c) behavioral production
d) motivation to perform.
• Enactive learning takes place when ppl evaluate consequences of their behavior.
• Functioning is a product of triadic reciprocal causation: the interaction reaction of environmental events, behavior & personal factors
• Chance encounters & fortuitous events are important enviro. factors.
• Self/collective efficacy
• Ppl self-regulate w/ external & internal factors. Ext: standards, reinforcement. Int: self-observation, judgment, self-reaction.
• Selective activation & disengagement of internal control lets ppl separate themselves from consequences.
• To do so, can redefine behavior, displace responsibility, distort consequences, blame the victims.
