Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bandura's social learning theory emphasizes the role of observation and modeling in behavior. His work on modeling and imitation has been used in applications such as reducing television violence, promoting safer sex practices to prevent AIDS, and promoting environmental conservation. Skinner's operant conditioning theory has also been applied in similar ways, but Bandura's work is more directly related to the examples given in the question. Pavlov's classical conditioning theory and Darwin's theory of evolution are not directly relevant to these applications.
