What is Theory Social Learning?

Social Learning Theory, proposed by Albert Bandura, explains how people learn behaviors by observing and imitating others. It emphasizes the role of modeling, reinforcement, and social interaction. Learning occurs in a social context, not just through direct experience.

Example:
A child learns to say “thank you” by watching parents.
 
Social Learning Theory, developed by Albert Bandura, explains how people learn by observing others. It emphasizes learning through imitation, modeling, and watching the behavior and outcomes of others. Social interaction, environment, and cognition all play key roles. This theory highlights the importance of role models, reinforcement, and self-efficacy in shaping behavior and acquiring new skills.
 
Social Learning Theory is a psychological concept that says that people learn a lot by observing, watching, and copying the behavior of others. This theory was popularized by Albert Bandura. He said that learning does not just happen from direct experience – rather, we also adopt behavior and skills by observing others. For example, if a child sees someone getting a reward, he will also do the same. This theory is applicable in the classroom, workplace, and social media behavior, too, where people learn through modeling, imitation, and observation.
