    Albert Bandura was a pioneering psychologist known as the "Father of Social Cognitive Theory and Self-Efficacy Theory." He was born in Canada in 1925 and received his PhD from the University of British Columbia in 1952. Bandura taught at Stanford University, where he conducted seminal experiments like the Bobo doll experiment in 1963, which demonstrated how behavior can be learned through observation. Bandura published many influential works developing his theories of social learning and self-efficacy. He proposed that learning occurs in a social context through observational learning and modeling of others, and that people's beliefs in their own capabilities, which he termed "self-efficacy," significantly influence how they behave. Bandura's theories revolutionized understanding of human learning

    Accomplishments/Experiments
    ^ 1963 - Bobo Doll Experiment intended to study the patterns of behavior associated with aggression, hopefully in part by his social learning theory. [The result of this experiment was the appreciation for the Social Learning Theory, which suggests that behavior is impacted by environmental factors, stimuli, and four stages of imitation: 1. 2. 3. 4. Imitation of Superiors Close Contact Understanding of Concepts Role Model Behavior

    This also furthered his research into the understanding of the basic principles of Social Behavior: people can learn through observation, mental states are relevant to successful education and finally that even if something is learned, it does not guarantee a change in behavior.] ^ 1963/1969/1971 - Publishing of Social Learning and Personality Development, Principles of Behavior Modification, and Agression: A Social Learning Analysis ^ 1974 - Election to President of the American Psychological Association ^ 1977 - Development of the Cognitive Model Theory ^ 1977/1978/1995 - Published Social Learning Theory, Psychological Modeling: Theory and Practice, Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory, and Self Efficacy in Changing Societies

    Self-Efficacy and its resulting concepts


    Self Efficacy The result of oneself belief in their own competence. Contributing factors to Self-Efficacy: 1. Experience 2. Modeling 3. Social Persuasion 4. Physiological Factors (Both his studies of Social Cognitive Theory1 and Model Behaviorism2 theories supported this)
