  Albert Bandura Biographical Sketch
Albert Bandura was born on December 4, 1925, in Mundare, a hamlet in northern Alberta, Canada, about 50 miles east of Edmonton.
Bandura's decision to re-label his theoretical approach from social learning to social cognitive was due to his growing belief that the breadth of his theorizing and research had expanded beyond the scope of the social learning label.
Bandura has served psychology in a variety of capacities, and his sense of concern with the uses to which its knowledge is put swells his extracurricular activities.

 STANFORD Magazine: September/October 2006 > Features > Albert Bandura
Bandura consults on some of the biggest issues of our time: improving the status of women in traditional cultures, preventing the spread of HIV, and increasing the use of birth control in certain areas.
Bandura explains that when a woman believes her husband has a delicate heart, she discourages the kind of exercise that might help the recovery of minor heart attack victims.
(Bandura likes to say that his mother was deeply religious and his father drank holy wine with the priest.) Neither parent was formally educated, but both could see beyond the confines of tiny Mundare and they encouraged their son to do the same.

 Albert Bandura
Albert Bandura stated that this book was one of the contributions to development of his modeling theory (Evans, 1989: p4).
Albert Bandura believed that aggression must explain three aspects: First, how aggressive patterns of behavior are developed; second, what provokes people to behave aggressively, and third, what determines whether they are going to continue to resort to an aggressive behavior pattern on future occasions (Evans, 1989: p.22).
Albert Bandura reported that individuals that live in high crime rates areas are more likely to act violently than those who dwell in low-crime areas (Bandura, 1976: p.207).

 Albert Bandura
Albert Bandura was born December 4, 1925, in the small town of Mundare in northern Alberta, Canada.
Bandura found this a bit too simplistic for the phenomena he was observing -- aggression in adolescents -- and so decided to add a little something to the formula: He suggested that environment causes behavior, true; but behavior causes environment as well.
Bandura did a large number of variations on the study: The model was rewarded or punished in a variety of ways, the kids were rewarded for their imitations, the model was changed to be less attractive or less prestigious, and so on.

 Albert Bandura: The Power of Social Modeling
That power and its effects were the subject of a presentation by Dr. Albert Bandura, David Starr Jordan Professor of Social Sciences in Psychology, at the annual Bing Nursery School Distinguished Lecture Series, held on May 27 in Jordan Hall.
According to Bandura, there are three properties of violence that instill widespread fear and all three were present in the Colorado incident.
Bandura notes, however, that people don’t have to be distressed to aggress.

 Albert Bandura — www.greenwood.com
In this one, series director Evans dialogues with Albert Bandura, a proponent of social cognitive theory, a theory that accords a central role to cognitive, vicarious, self-regulatory and self-reflective processes in sociocognitive functioning.
Albert Bandura: The Man and His Ideas will introduce the reader to Bandura's major ideas and points of view, conveying through the extemporaneousness of the dialogue style a feeling for his personality.
In subsequent chapters Bandura discusses his theories and research in the area of aggression and how the results from his research have become an issue in public policy regarding such issues as the role of mass media in generating violence.

 Communication Theory: A First Look
Bandura is convinced, however, that major gains in vicarious learning come when the observer develops a conscious awareness of the technique involved.
Bandura concludes that reinforcement doesn’t affect the learning of novel responses, but it does "determine whether or not observationally acquired competencies will be put into use." He discovered that the same antisocial learning took place when the aggressor was a cartoon character (Herman the Cat), rather than a human model.
Bandura states that "theories must demonstrate predictive power." Social learning theory’s claim that fantasy violence teaches and encourages real aggression tests out splendidly in the laboratory, where other factors can be held constant, but only passably in the field.

 Bandura, Albert | Introduction: Psychologists and Their Theories
Albert Bandura recognized the importance of this process, called observational learning or vicarious learning, in which people learn to do something without actually performing the behavior themselves or being directly rewarded or punished for it.
Bandura's other major contribution to psychology has been the description of one key cognitive process, called perceived self-efficacy.
These two central themes in Bandura's work—observational learning and self-efficacy beliefs—have been brought together with other factors under the label "social-cognitive theory." According to Bandura's social-cognitive theory, the outer world and the inner person—including that person's beliefs, thoughts, and feelings—combine to determine an individual's actions.

 TIP: Theories
The social learning theory of Bandura emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others.
Bandura (1977) states: "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do.
Bandura's theory improves upon the strictly behavioral interpretation of modeling provided by Miller and Dollard (1941).

 That's Me! - A Guide To Personality
According to social learning theory, human behavior is mostly developed, and learning principles are sufficient to explain the development and maintenance of human behavior.
Bandura thinks that human beings are not simply pawns of the environment; they think and regulate their own behavior.
To him, a theory of personality must take account of the social contexts in which behavior is acquired and maintained.

 Albert Bandura
In the early 1960s, Albert Bandura began a series of writings that challenged the older explanations of imitative learning and expand the topic into what is now referred to as Observational Learning.
Bandura's theory is often referred to as "social learning theory" as it emphasizes the role of vicarious experience (observation) of people impacting people (models).
Bandura speculated that this is because people with high perceived self-efficacy tend to have more control over their environment and therefore experience less uncertainty.

Bandura descrive inoltre in che modo ha portato avanti un programma di ricerca, dalle molteplici sfaccettature, volto a chiarire quegli aspetti delle capacita' umane che una teoria esauriente del comportamento dovrebbe comprendere.

Bandura e alcune delle sue ricerche piu' note, quali l'esperimento della bambola "BoBo", il trattamento per la fobia dei serpenti e l'uso della televisione, in relazione al dramma e alla possibilita' di veicolare messaggi sociali positivi.

Beyond the details of air, water, food, and sex, he laid out five broader layers: the physiological needs, the needs for safety and security, the needs for love and belonging, the needs for esteem, and the need to actualize the self, in that order.
His action-oriented, problem-solving approach likewise appeals to those who want to get things done, rather than philosophize about ids, archetypes, actualization, freedom, and all the many other mentalistic constructs personologists tend to dwell on.
