Albert Bandura.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Albert Bandura is a psychologist best known for his <strong>social learning theory<\/strong> (also called <strong>observational learning<\/strong> or <strong>modeling<\/strong>). His theory suggests that individuals learn behaviors, attitudes, and emotional responses by observing others, particularly role models such as parents, teachers, or peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Rosalind\u2019s case, she exhibits impulsive behavior similar to her father\u2019s. Bandura would argue that Rosalind has learned this behavior by watching and imitating her father\u2019s impulsivity. This aligns with his famous <strong>Bobo doll experiment<\/strong>, where children who observed aggressive adult models were more likely to imitate aggressive behavior themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandura\u2019s theory emphasizes four key processes in observational learning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Attention<\/strong> \u2013 The child must first notice the model\u2019s behavior. Since Rosalind lives with her father, she likely pays close attention to how he behaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Retention<\/strong> \u2013 The child must remember the behavior. Rosalind likely recalls her father acting impulsively in various situations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reproduction<\/strong> \u2013 The child must have the ability to imitate the behavior. Rosalind is capable of acting impulsively, just like her father.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Motivation<\/strong> \u2013 The child needs a reason to imitate the behavior. If Rosalind sees her father\u2019s impulsivity leading to quick rewards or little consequence, she is more likely to imitate it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Other theorists do not fit as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>B. F. Skinner (a)<\/strong> focuses on reinforcement and punishment, not modeling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sigmund Freud (b)<\/strong> emphasizes unconscious drives rather than learned behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carl Rogers (c)<\/strong> focuses on self-concept and humanistic psychology, not observational learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, Bandura\u2019s theory best explains why Rosalind has learned impulsivity from her father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rosalind is an impulsive child who seldom waits for her turn when playing with other children.
