He was born in 1925 in Canada and had limited educational resources growing up, which led him to become self-directed in his learning. After studying biological sciences, he became interested in psychology and earned his PhD. He was then offered a position at Stanford University in 1953, where he has worked ever since. Bandura's social learning theory emphasizes that learning occurs through observation and modeling of others' behaviors, attitudes, emotions, and outcomes.

    • Albert Bandura is A
    an influential social
    cognitive psychologist who is perhaps
    best known for his social learning
    theory, the concept of self-efficacy,
    and his famous Bobo doll
    experiments.
    • One 2002 survey ranked him as the
    fourth most influential psychologist of the
    twentieth century, behind only B.F.
    EARLY LIFE
    He was born on December 4, 1925, in a small Canadian town located approximately

    50 miles from Edmonton. The last of six children, Bandura's early education consisted

    of one small school with only two teachers. According to Bandura, because of this

    limited access to educational resources, "The students had to take charge of their own

    education. He realized that while "the content of most textbooks is perishable...the

    tools of self-directedness serve one well over time."


    Bandura soon became fascinated by psychology after enrolling at the University of

    British Columbia. He had started out as a biological sciences major and his

    interest in psychology formed quite by accident.

    After earning his Ph.D., he was offered a position at Stanford University. Bandura

    accepted the offer. He began working at Stanford in 1953 and has continued to

    work at the university to this day.


    Albert Bandura's social learning theory emphasizes that learning is by
    observation and modeling of others. People learn through observing others'
    behavior, attitude, emotion reaction, and outcomes of behaviors.

    His most famous experiment was the 1961 Bobo doll study.
