Detailed explanation-1: -SCT provides opportunities for social support through instilling expectations, self-efficacy, and using observational learning and other reinforcements to achieve behavior change.
Detailed explanation-2: -SCT is too broad; one theory can’t explain all aspects of a behavior, but this theory seems to attempt to do so. While SCT considers several factors outside of the individual, it may not do an adequate job explaining all of the cognitive factors that go into changing behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -SCT identifies three main factors that influence behavior and behavioral choices: (1) the environment (e.g., neighborhood, proximity to gym), (2) individual personality characteristics and/or experience (including cognitions), and (3) behavioral factors.
