(10) Questions
1. When a child
sees their parents
working long
hours,
volunteering at
the community
center, and
lending a
helping hand
around the
house, the child
is likely to
imitate those
actions. If these
actions are
rewarded, the
person will most
likely repeat the
behavior since it
becomes
reinforced.

Justification
Social Learning
Theory offers a
thorough
understanding of
how social
interactions,
imitation, and
observation are
used to teach
behavior. It
bases its
conclusions on
empirical
research and
cognitive
processes. Its
value is further
highlighted by
its integration
with other
theoretical
perspectives and
its applicability
to a variety of
domains.
