Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social learning theory proposes that behavior is learned through observation and imitation of role models, such as parents. Therefore, children who witness violence in the home may be more likely to perceive such behavior as acceptable and may imitate it in the future. The other choices (cognitive, parental deviance, deterrence) do not directly address the impact of witnessed violence on a child's behavior.
