Question

Little girls are typically rewarded for being quiet and obedient, whereas little boys are often rewarded for being athletic and tough. As a result, children are more likely to repeat the behaviors that have been reinforced, and gender differences in behavior develop. Which theory best explains this phenomenon?

Answer 1

The correct answer is social learning theory

 

Social learning theory is the ability to reproduce observed behavior. This type of learning differs from other types of learning because it is based on imitation and, therefore, in the fact that without it, such behaviors would hardly be apprehended.
