social-cognitive theory
Definition
- Albert Bandura's social-cognitive theory (SCT) is the result of a revision and expansion of his social learning theory and advocates a model of triadic reciprocal determinism to explain a person's behavior in a particular context. That is, (1) external environment, (2) behavior, and (3) cognitive/biological/other personal factors all influence each other bidirectionally.
