Bandura's Theory of Imitation
Bandura's Theory of Imitation suggests that people learn new behaviors by observing others. When we see someone perform an action and see positive results or rewards, we're more likely to imitate that behavior ourselves. This process helps us acquire skills, manners, or attitudes without direct instruction. It highlights the importance of social influence and modeling in learning, emphasizing that much of human behavior is learned through watching and copying others in our environment.
