social Cognitive Theory
The International Encyclopedia of Communication, 2008Co-Authors: Albert BanduraAbstract:Theories of human behavior differ in their conceptions of human nature and what they regard as the basic determinants and mechanisms governing self-development, adaptation, and change. Social Cognitive Theory is rooted in an agentic perspective ( Bandura 1986, 2006a). To be an agent is to influence one's own functioning and events that affect one's life. In this view people are contributors to their life circumstances, not just products of them. Keywords: Information Processing and Cognitions; Psychology

social Cognitive Theory of mass communication
Media Psychology, 2001Co-Authors: Albert BanduraAbstract:Social Cognitive Theory provides an agentic conceptual framework within which to analyze the determinants and psychosocial mechanisms through which symbolic communication influences human thought, affect and action. Communications systems operate through two pathways. In the direct pathway, they promote changes by informing, enabling, motivating, and guiding participants. In the socially mediated pathway, media influences link participants to social networks and community settings that provide natural incentives and continued personalized guidance, for desired change. Social Cognitive Theory analyzes social diffusion of new styles of behavior in terms of the psychosocial factors governing their acquisition and adoption and the social networks through which they spread and are supported. Structural interconnectedness provides potential diffusion paths; socioCognitive factors largely determine what diffuses through those paths.

social Cognitive Theory of gender development and differentiation
Psychological Review, 1999Co-Authors: Kay Bussey, Albert BanduraAbstract:Human differentiation on the basis of gender is a fundamental phenomenon that affects virtually every aspect of people’s daily lives. This article presents the social Cognitive Theory of gender-role development and functioning. It specifies how gender conceptions are constructed from the complex mix of experiences and how they operate in concert with motivational and self-regulatory mechanisms to guide gender-linked conduct throughout the life course. The Theory integrates psychological and sociostructural determinants within a unified conceptual structure. In this theoretical perspective, gender conceptions and roles are the product of a broad network of social influences operating interdependently in a variety of societal subsystems. Human evolution provides bodily structures and biological potentialities that permit a range of possibilities rather than dictate a fixed type of gender differentiation. People contribute to their self-development and bring about social changes that define and structure gender relationships through their agentic actions within the interrelated systems of influence.

Cognitive Theory, SOAR
Colección Digital Eudoxus, 2009Co-Authors: Richard L LewisAbstract:SOAR is a computational Theory of human cognition that takes the form of a general Cognitive architecture (Laird, Newell, & Rosenbloom, 1987; Newell, 1990; Rosenbloom, Laird, & Newell, 1992). SOAR (not an acronym) is a major exemplar of the architectural approach to cognition, which attempts the unification of a range of Cognitive phenomena with a single set of mechanisms, and addresses a number of significant methodological and theoretical issues common to all computational Cognitive theories (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998; Newell, 1990; Pylyshyn, 1984). SOAR is also characterized by a set of specific theoretical commitments shaped primarily by attempting to satisfy the functional requirements for supporting human-level intelligence, manifest in SOAR’s parallel existence as a state-of-the art artificial intelligence system (Laird et al., 1987). This focus on functionality, and its attendant theoretical commitments, is what makes SOAR both distinctive and controversial in Cognitive psychology. SOAR represents the last major work of Allen Newell, one of the founders of modern Cognitive science and artificial intelligence, and a pioneer in the development of architectures as a class of Cognitive Theory.

Cognitive Theory , SOAR
Brain, 1999Co-Authors: Richard L LewisAbstract:is a computational Theory of human cognition that takes the form of a general Cognitive architecture. is a major exemplar of the architectural approach to Cognitive Theory, which attempts the unification of a wide range of phenomena with a single set of mechanisms, and addresses a number of significant methodological and theoretical issues common to all computational Cognitive theories. characterized by a set of specific theoretical commitments shaped primarily by attempting to satisfy the functional requirements for supporting human-level intelligence. The five major technical ideas underlying are: (a) the physical symbol system hypothesis; (b) Cognitive architectures; (c) production systems; (d) problem spaces and least commitment control structures; and (e) continuous, impasse-driven learning. 's focus on functionality and these five specific theoretical commitments are what make it both distinctive and controversial in Cognitive psychology.

social Cognitive Theory and individual reactions to computing technology a longitudinal study
Management Information Systems Quarterly, 1999Co-Authors: Deborah Compeau, Christopher A Higgins, Sid L HuffAbstract:A model, based on Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, was developed to test the influence of computer self-efficacy, outcome expectations, affect, and anxiety on computer usage. The model was tested using longitudinal data gathered from 394 end users over a one-year interval. Significant relationships were found between computer self-efficacy and outcome expectations, and between self-efficacy and affect and anxiety and use. Performance outcomes were found to influence affect and use, while affect was significantly related to use. Overall, the findings provide strong confirmation that both self-efficacy and outcome expectations impact on an individual's affective and behavioral reactions to information technology.

application of social Cognitive Theory to training for computer skills
Information Systems Research, 1995Co-Authors: Deborah Compeau, Christopher A HigginsAbstract:While computer training is widely recognized as an essential contributor to the productive use of computers in organizations, very little research has focused on identifying the processes through which training operates, and the relative effectiveness of different methods for such training. This research examined the training process, and compared a behavior modeling training program, based on Social Cognitive Theory Bandura [Bandura, A. 1977. Self-efficacy: Toward a unifying Theory of behavioral change. Psych. Rev.842 191--215; Bandura, A. 1978. Reflections on self-efficacy. Adv. Behavioral Res. Therapy1 237--269; Bandura, A. 1982. Self-efficacy mechanism in human agency. Amer. Psychologist372 122--147; Bandura, A. 1986. Social Foundations of Thought and Action. Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ.], to a more traditional, lecture-based program. According to Social Cognitive Theory, watching others performing a behavior, in this case interacting with a computer system, influences the observers' perceptions of their own ability to perform the behavior, or self-efficacy, and the expected outcomes that they perceive, as well as providing strategies for effective performance. The findings provide only partial support for the research model. Self-efficacy exerted a strong influence on performance in both models. In addition, behavior modeling was found to be more effective than the traditional method for training in Lotus 1-2-3, resulting in higher self-efficacy and higher performance. For WordPerfect, however, modeling did not significantly influence performance. This finding was unexpected, and several possible explanations are explored in the discussion. Of particular surprise were the negative relationships found between outcome expectations and performance. Outcome expectations were expected to positively influence performance, but the results indicated a strong negative effect. Measurement limitations are presented as the most plausible explanation for this result, but further research is necessary to provide conclusive explanations.

self regulated learning social Cognitive Theory and agency
Educational Psychologist, 2004Co-Authors: Jack MartinAbstract:The conception and Theory of agency as self-regulation that is contained within Bandura's social Cognitive Theory is examined and elaborated in the context of the relevant philosophical history of ideas and through consideration of recent work in theoretical developmental psychology. Implications for self-regulated learning in classrooms are considered. In particular, it is suggested that the understanding of agency contained within social Cognitive Theory as elaborated herein might be developed as an alternative to conceptions of self-regulation and agency within constructivist and socioculturalist theorizing in educational psychology. However, the classroom application of such an alternative would require a much less dualistic and teacher-directed form of teaching than suggested in much past and current social Cognitive work on self-regulation.

Social Cognitive Theory in Mobile Banking Innovations
International Journal of E-business Research, 2020Co-Authors: Vanessa RattenAbstract:This paper examines the behavior Australian youths have toward mobile banking. Social Cognitive Theory is the theoretical framework in which a conceptual model is empirically tested. The conceptual model includes five constructs media, modeling, outcome expectancy, learning orientation and entrepreneurial orientation, which are proposed to influence an individual's intention to adopt mobile banking. The conceptual model is tested in a sample of Australian youths and the analysis supports a portion of the proposed conceptual model. The findings support the link between the media and an individual's entrepreneurial orientation with their intention to adopt mobile banking. The paper demonstrates how social Cognitive Theory is a useful foundation to understand the external and internal stimuli that influence an individual's desire to adopt mobile banking.

Social Cognitive Theory in technological innovations
European Journal of Innovation Management, 2007Co-Authors: Vanessa Ratten, Hamish RattenAbstract:Purpose – The aim of this paper is to understand the behavior that Australian youths have towards wireless application protocol (WAP) banking.Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based on a quantitative study of the youth market in Australia. Social Cognitive Theory is utilized to support a conceptual model that is empirically tested.Findings – The major finding from the research is that the conceptual model is partially supported which indicates the immaturity of WAP technology.Originality/value – Social Cognitive Theory provides a useful explanation for youth's intentions to use WAP technology in the banking industry. The youth market is an early adopter of technology that presents a good indicator of future market potential.
