Behaviorism and Social Learning w/ Pretty Little Liars

Pretty Little Liars has so much behaviorism and social learning. The show basically is
about consequences from other peoples actions. These girls use vicarious learning as
Albert Bandura (1986) describes as individuals watching others receive consequences for
their actions and it helps the observer not to repeat the actions they saw. The girls of PLL
receive consequences for their actions in every episode. Sometimes it can end up as a term
of punishments (both I & II) as Skinner (1948) describes as taking something away
favorable and replacing it with an unfavorable consequence.
