Question 6 • Personal Psychology 1

“I’m sure I’ll learn to drive quickly,” Hayden says. “I’ve never been behind the wheel, but I watch my parents drive all the time.” According to Albert Bandura’s social learning theory, Hayden lacks what?

Answer
A
observation
B
reproduction
C
motivation
D
attention

Explanation

Bandura’s social learning theory describes learning through observing a behavior, remembering it, being able to reproduce it, and having motivation to perform it. Hayden has watched their parents drive, so observation is present, but they have never driven and therefore lack the practice or ability to reproduce the behavior. The correct choice is reproduction.
