Theoretical Framework Bandura found this a bit too simplistic for the phenomena he was observing -- aggression in adolescents -- and so decided to add a little something to the formula: He suggested that environment causes behavior, true; but behavior causes environment as well. He labeled this concept reciprocal determinism: The world and a person’s behavior cause each other. Adding imagery and language to the mix allows Bandura to theorize much more effectively than someone like, say

This theory states that learning is a cognitive process that takes place in a social context and can occur purely through observation or direct instruction (Bandura, 1963). Social learning theory holds that behavior is molded by rewards and punishment, or reinforcement. Past and present rewards and punishments for certain actions determine the actions that individuals continue to pursue. Reward and punishment

Describe and evaluate the social learning theory approach in psychology. The social learning theory approach argues that it is the mediational processes which lie between the stimulus and response, influence our behaviour and the way we act. This is when we witness a certain action and then thought processes occur, this is where we consider how we behave. For example, a child may be watching the tweenies’ and witness reinforcement for good behaviour, they then would like the same reinforcement and

subjective realties of individual existence, individual freedom, and individual choice. Runaway by Kanye West is a great example of this philosophical theory and many connections can be made to his work and the work of Soren Kierkegaard, Franz Kafka, and Albert Camus.

The four artists have a very philosophical cohesion between
