Detailed explanation-1: -Even so, a teacher who sees them lets them continue to fight rather than punishing them for doing so. Judging from what social cognitive theorists say regarding what happens when expected punishments don’t occur, we can predict that these boys will be: more likely to fight in the future.
Detailed explanation-2: -People can learn both positive and negative behaviors from observing the actions of people in their environment, or models. For example, being polite and courteous is often learned through models, as is behaving in a rude, inconsiderate way.
Detailed explanation-3: -In social cognitive theory (SCT; Bandura, 1982), behavior is held to be determined by four factors: goals, outcome expectancies, self-efficacy, and sociostructural variables.
Detailed explanation-4: -An important concept in social learning theory, vicarious reinforcement often leads to imitation: for example, a student who hears the teacher praise a classmate for neat penmanship on an assignment and who then carefully handwrites his or her own assignment is considered to have received vicarious reinforcement.
Detailed explanation-5: -Should students ever be allowed to fail at classroom tasks? According to social cognitive theorists, the answer is: Yes. Occasional failures interspersed among frequent successes teach students that perseverance pays off.
