• FACTS
• Albert Bandura was born on December 4, 1925.
• Where Mundare in northern Alberta, Canada.
• Albert Bandura is currently living and well in
  contrast to our other Theorists.
• He was awarded the Distinguished Scientist Award
  from the American Psychological Association (APA)
  in 1972
• He was elected president of the APA in 1974.

•   He was the youngest child and only boy among
  six children in a family.
•   Both of his parents had immigrated to Canada
  when they were both adolescents his father from
  Krakow, Poland, and his mother from the Ukraine. 
  
• His parents placed a high value on educational
  attainment, although neither of them had any
  formal education. 
• For example, his father taught himself to read
  three languages Polish, Russian, and German

Behaviorism

• Albert Banduras theory is another attempt to
  explain human personality.
• Behaviorism on experimental methods, focuses on
  variables we can observe, measure, and
  manipulate, and avoids whatever is subjective,
  internal, and unavailable for example mental.  In
  the experimental method, the standard procedure
  is to manipulate one variable, and then measure
  its effects on another.  All this boils down to a
  theory of personality that says that ones
  environment causes ones behavior.

• As in behaviorism the video below is a video with
  Albert Bandura explaning Social Cognitive Theory.
• Social Cognitive Theory, used in psychology,
  education, and communication, posits that
  portions of an individual's knowledge acquisition
  can be directly related to observing others
  within the context of social interactions,
  experiences, and outside media influences.

Theory

• Bandura found everything in agression in children
  to be a little bit to simple for his taste so he
  added something in there in behaviorism. He
  suggested that environment causes behavior and
  vice versa that behavior makes the enviroment.
• Bandura called this reciprocal determinism and
  stated that the world and peoples behavior cause
  each other.

7
Personality

• Bandura decided that he wanted to go a step
  further and look at peoples personality in three
  different ways
• 1. The environment, 2. Behavior
• 3. A persons psychological
  processes.

8
Personality

• In that point in time he introduced imagery.
• Introducing this he fails to be a strict
  behaviorist.
• He begins to join the ranks of the cognitivists. 
  
• He is often considered a father of the
  cognitivist movement!

• Albert Bandrua decided that he wanted to go
  further and be more open minded that other
  Theorists. With Observational Learning (modeling)
  and Self-Regulation.

10
Studies

• Albert Bandura is responsible for more than 100
  studies but the one that is his most famous and
  most known study is the bobo doll study.
• In the Bobo-Doll study,everything was filmed so
  it started out with you women attacking Bobo
  Dolls, hitting it, calling it names and in
  general trying to destroy it.
• As Bandura new it would happen the children
  followed as seen from their mother figure.

11
Bobo-Doll StudyProcess step by step

• The woman punched the clown, shouting sockeroo!
• She kicked it, sat on it, hit with a little
  hammer, shouting various violent phrases. 
• Bandura showed his film to groups of
  kindergartners who, as you might predict, liked
  it a lot. 
• They then were let out to play. 
• In the play room, were several observers with
  pens and clipboards in hand, a brand new bobo
  doll, and a few little hammers.

12
Bobo-Doll StudyProcess step by step

• A lot of little kids beating the air out of the
  bobo doll. 
• They punched it and shouted sockeroo, kicked it,
  sat on it, hit it with the little hammers. 
• They copied the mother figure just as in the
  video.

Social Learning Theory According from notes on
Ormond's Human Learning

• What the social learning theory from notes on
  Ormonds Human
• Learning suggest is that there is 8 rules and
  implications on learning behaviors in class rooms
  Social learning theory has numerous implications
  for classroom use.
• 1. Students often learn a great deal simply by
  observing other people.
• 2. Describing the consequences of behavior can
  effectively increase the appropriate behaviors
  and decrease inappropriate ones. This can involve
  discussing with learners about the rewards and
  consequences of various behaviors.

15

• 3. Modeling provides an alternative to shaping
  for teaching new behaviors. Instead of using
  shaping, which is operant conditioning, modeling
  can provide a faster, more efficient means for
  teaching new behavior. To promote effective
  modeling a teacher must make sure that the four
  essential conditions exist attention, retention
  , motor reproduction, and motivation.
• 4. Teachers and parents must model appropriate
  behaviors and take care that they do not model
  inappropriate behaviors.
• 5. Teachers should expose students to a variety
  of other models. This technique is especially
  important to break down traditional stereotypes.

16

• 6. Students must believe that they are capable of
  accomplishing school tasks. Thus it is very
  important to develop a sense of self-efficacy for
  students. Teachers can promote such self-efficacy
  by having students receive confidence-building
  messages, watch others be successful, and
  experience success on their own.
• 7. Teachers should help students set realistic
  expectations for their academic accomplishments.
  In general in my class that means making sure
  that expectations are not set too low. I want to
  realistically challenge my students. However,
  sometimes the task is beyond a student's ability,
  example would be the cancer group.
• 8. Self-regulation techniques provide an
  effective method for improving student behavior.

Banduras Writing

• Bandura did not only test and compete against
  other theorists with studys and expirements, he
  also competed with them in writing.

18
Modeling and its different effects in people.

• Acquisition - New responses are learned by
  observing the model.
• Inhibition - A response that can or may be made
  is changed when the observer sees a model being
  punished.
• Disinhibition - A fade out in fear by observing a
  model's behavior goes unpunished in a feared
  activity.

19

• Facilitation - A model elicits from an observer a
  response that has already been learne.
• Creativity - Observing several models performing
  and then adapting a combination of
  characteristics or styles.

Bandura

• Bandura has helped and served
• Psychology in a number of ways and
• created history in the process. With his
• Intelligence and view of the world from a
• Perspectives that not many people
• throughout the history of psychology.

21
Awards

• In 1972, he received a distinguished achievement
  award from the American Psychological Association

  Lifetime Contribution to Psychology Award from
  the American Psychological Association.
• Bandura has also received several honorary
  degrees from universities all over the world
           

22

• In Banduras search for
• Finding out the behaviors
• Of different people throughtout
• Different studys and
• Expirements. He achived
• And his name will be in hisotory as
• one of the best psychologists ever.
• With the achievment of learing about behaviors
  and studding if behaviors are learned he
  concluded ones environment causes ones
  behavior. And vice versa.
