Use Bandura’s concept of reciprocal determinism to explain how Chrystell’s stuttering was resolved after her baby sister was born. How is Bandura’s theory different from Erikson’s in its emphasis?
What will be an ideal response?
Bandura suggested that the person (P), behavior (B), and the environment (E) all influence each other and therefore affect behavior. Chrystell’s stuttering can illustrate this. The new baby (E) influenced Chrystell by making her feel neglected and jealous (P). These feelings then contributed to her stuttering (B). Chrystell and her stuttering (B), in turn, influenced Chrystell’s mother (E) who tried to reassure Chrystell (P). Chrystell (P) also tried to influence her mother by complaining about the amount of time her mother spent with the baby (E). Chrystell (P) also influenced the environment by squeezing the baby too hard when she hugged her (E).
Bandura’s and Erikson’s theories are different in their emphasis. While Bandura’s is also social in emphasis, it is also more cognitive in comparison to Erikson’s.
