Explain the reciprocal determinism model developed by Albert Bandura.

What will be an ideal response?


Albert Bandura developed a reciprocal determinism model that consists of three main factors: behavior, person/cognitive, and environment. These factors can interact to influence learning: Environmental factors influence behavior, behavior affects the environment, person (cognitive) factors influence behavior, and so on. The person factors Bandura describes that do not have a cognitive bent are mainly personality traits and temperament. Such factors might include being introverted or extraverted, active or inactive, calm or anxious, and friendly or hostile. Cognitive factors include expectations, beliefs, attitudes, strategies, thinking, and intelligence. Affective and emotional factors such as emotional self-regulation or temperament also are included in person/cognitive factors.
