Karten in diesem Stapel (9)
- 1ModellingA form of learning where individuals learn a particular behaviour by observing another individual performing that behaviour
- 2ImitationThe action of using someone or something as a model and copying their behaviour
- Patterns of behaviour are learned more quickly than through conditioning - 3IdentificationA form of influence where an individual adopts a behaviour or attitude because they want to be associated with the particular person or group
- Shutts et al (2010) suggests that children are more likely to identify with same-sex models - 4Vicarious ReinforcementLearning that is not a result of direct reinforcement of behaviour but through observing others being rewarded for that behaviour
- 5Mediational ProcessesInternal mental processes that exist between environmental stimuli and the response made by an individual to those stimuli
- Bandura (1986) - Observer must make mental representations of the behaviour and the consequences, and then display the behaviours - 6Key Study Bandura et al (1961)- Children observed aggressive or non-aggressive models
- After observation, they weren't allowed to play with nice looking toys and became frustrated,
- Agg. model showed physically and verbally aggressive behaviour.
- 1/3 of Agg. model repeated verbal remarks - 7EvalutationUseful Applications
> Can be used to understand criminal behaviour
> Akers (1998) - the probability in engaging in criminal activities increases when exposed to models who commit criminal behaviour, identify with the models and develop the expectation of +ve consequences - 8EvaluationA Problem of Causality
> SLT suggests that association with deviant peers will cause deviant behaviour
> Delinquency may not be a result of exposure to deviant models but to possessing deviant behaviours prior to contact - 9EvaluationImportance of Identification in Social Learning of Health Behaviours
> Media's attempts to change health-related behaviours show models similar to the target audience are more likely to cause identification and greater SL
> Greater identification = influence modelling behaviour
