Listen "Social Learning Theory"
Episode Synopsis
We examine Several studies that explore the impact of social learning theory on various behaviours. One examines how social learning mediates the effect of structural variables on college student binge drinking. Another investigates the rise of physical aggression in girls, attributing it to social learning processes influenced by family, community, and media. A third study looks at the application of social learning theory to promote workplace fitness programs, highlighting the role of incentives and social reinforcement in behaviour change. Finally, a fourth study analyses how social learning, particularly peer and family influence, affects adolescent smoking behaviour, finding that cigarette taxes have a limited impact compared to social factors.
