Building Bandur a

In the city of G. Here he met the works of J. Miller and J. Dolard, K. began a significant impact on him with the “incentive -reaction” methodology, Bandura came to the conclusion that for human behavior this model is not quite applicable, and proposed his model, which better explains the observed behavior. Based on numerous studies, he gave a new formulation of instrumental determination, giving in it the central place for learning by observing the sample.

At the same time, the reinforcement was considered by him not as the only determinant of learning, but only as a contributing factor. The main determinant of human learning is the observation of samples of other people's behavior and the consequences of this behavior: this or that form of behavior becomes motivating due to the anticipation of the consequences of these actions.

These consequences may include not only reinforcements on the part of other people, but also self -reinforcement, due to the assessment of compliance with internally mandatory standards of behavior, which other people demonstrate. The speed of learning depends on the psychological availability of the subject of imitation this is the possibility of direct communication, and the complexity of the presented behavior and on the effectiveness of verbal coding of the observed behavior.

Learning through observation is necessary in situations when errors can lead to too significant or even fatal consequences. Based on his theory of social learning, he tried to give a new interpretation of aggression Aggression: A Social Learning Analysis.

Englewood Cliffs, initially Bandur understood the impulsive, close to a pathological reaction to frustration, but then made sure that this was not so. It turned out that the theory of aggression as Frustration explains the existing facts worse than its theory of learning based on observing the remuneration of the consequences of aggression. He found that aggressive behavior develops in children who are in the conditions of learning, with examples of aggressive behavior of adults.

In particular, the fathers of super -pressive adolescents serve them as a model of this behavior, encouraging them outside the house to the manifestations of Adolescent Aggresion aggression. Conducting a study with the participation of young children, when they were shown films encouraging verbal aggression, he found that in this case, children tend to repeat what he saw on the basis of these research came to the conclusion that anger, as a manifestation of general excitement contributing to aggression, would appear only when samples of angry reactions are socially accepted in these situational conditions.

As part of the tradition of studying the personality, the contribution of A. Bandura lies primarily in the fact that in an experimental study he moved attention from generalized character traits to situational-specific forms of behavior Principles of Behavior Modification.
