Self Regulation Of Children And Teens According To Julian Rotter And Albert Bandura

Introduction

Julian B. Rotter (1916), an American psychologist, is considered as one of the leading theorists of social learning in a variety of of fields behavioral psychology. He is also recognized for the contributions he has made to the construction of a theory of personality from the behavioral point of view. Also worth noting is the fact that his work influenced the subsequent configuration of cognitive-behavioral model (Carton, Nowicki, 1996).

Albert Bandura (born 4 December 1925) is a Canadian psychologist known for his theory of social learning and the concept of self-efficacy. Doctor of psychology, he began teaching at the Stanford University in 1953. After being initially influenced by the current behaviorist, he is radically diverted, stressing on the importance of cognitive and social factors in his research. He is now one of the leaders in the subject of the cognitive sociology in North America (Carton, Nowicki, 1996).

Social Learning

Albert Bandura

Learning model was introduced by Albert Bandura using the term cognitive learning process that exists, when an individual, as a result of observation of the behavior of other individuals, as well as, the ensuing consequences, largely appropriates new behaviors or changes in his existing patterns of behavior. The learner is thereby observer called the observed model or mission statement. The important point in this learning process is the fact that it takes place only under certain conditions (e.g. degree of identification with the model of the observer), the vicarious reinforcement (Heyes, 2011).

According to Albert Bandura's model, learning is a principle that is synonymous with the classical (Pavlovian) and operant (Skinner) in conditioning. He refers to the process of learning at the model as "the occurrence of a similarity between the behavior of a model and that of another person under conditions, which have acted as a model of behavior that is a decisive cue for the imitation of reactions”. Bruner and Piaget also presented the same facts, stating that human behavior cannot be explained only by stimulus-response relationships. Bandura also assumes that learning that occurs between stimulus and response processes faster. Unlike other educational psychologists, Bandura engaged specifically with the question of how behaviors are acquired, especially in the social and linguistic area. He explains his approach to model the encourage fast learning and efficient transfer of such behaviors. Through this model, he explains the fact that, by learning a person is able to acquire complex social actions. This model can be related to a specific person, as well, for example, a book or a person in a movie. By looking at the model, one is encouraged to question certain behavioral alternatives in more detail (Heyes, 2011).

"Most human behavior is learned through modeling by observation". Imitative behavior than (verbal or pictorial, "covert") represents the behavior that was first observed, then stored, and then acted upon. Movement types (“overt practice”) are not feasible, and instead model for learning is ...
