Review this week’s Learning Resources on social psychology and sex-linked modeling.
Think about how social psychology and, specifically, Bandura’s social cognitive theory, explains how modeling affects cognitive development and behavior.
Consider your childhood and select an adult who influenced your personal development. The adult could include a primary caregiver, extended member of the family, or family friend with whom you were close as a child.
Post a response to the following:
Explain some of the behaviors of the adult that you learned as a child and now demonstrate. Based on social cognitive theory, explain how you might have acquired the behaviors. Be specific.
Note: Support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and any additional sources you identify using both in-text citations and references. It is strongly recommended that you include proper APA format and citations.
