Rena is working quietly at her desk when she notices that Tania and Cheryl are giggling and exchanging notes. Mrs. Guru quickly and sternly reprimands Tania and Cheryl for their misbehavior, and both students get back to their work. Moments later, Valerie, who is seated behind Rena, taps her on the shoulder and motions for her to pass a note to Roger. Rena shakes her head "no" and quickly gets back to her work. In this scenario, why has Rena refused to pass Valerie's note to Roger?

What will be an ideal response?


Rena has learned through observational learning because she watched how the behavior of Tania and Cheryl was received by the teacher. Rena does not want to be reprimanded and thus does not want to risk performing the same behavior that got her classmates into trouble a few moments earlier.
