Social Learning Theory
BANDURA (1986)
- believed that aggression cannot be explained using traditional learning theory alone, and that we learn by observing others (social learning) not just through direct learning
- e.g. children observe 'role models' and imitate their behaviour
- children also learn through vicarious reinforcement, so if others are punished for aggressive behaviour they are less likely to imitate the behaviour and vice versa
