Social Learning Theory An Overview and Application in Understanding Human Behaviour

This research paper provides an in depth examination of the Social Learning Theory SLT , a prominent psychological perspective that explains how individuals learn behaviours and attitudes through observation, imitation, and reinforcement. Developed by Albert Bandura, the SLT highlights the crucial role of social interactions, modelling, and cognitive processes in shaping human behaviour. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of the SLT, its core principles, and its relevance in various domains, including education, criminal justice, and marketing. By analysing empirical studies and real world applications, this research paper showcases the significance of the SLT in understanding human behaviour and fostering positive behavioural changes.
