Many behavioral psychologists would disagree with the social cognitive theory because most believe that behavior is __________.
A. affected by cognition B. not affected by cognition C. affected by conditioning D. not affected by conditioning (psychology) Its B: not affected by cognition
In the Social Cognitive Theory, the most important aspects are social interaction and cognition that involves mental processes such as comprehension. Indeed, this theory proposes behaviors are the result of observing other people as part of social interaction, understanding this behavior, and then imitating it.
Despite this, many psychologists do not support this theory and the main reason is that they deny the learning of behavior is related to cognition or complex mental processes. Instead, some believe behavior is the result of certain impulses or that is regulated by conditioning such as behaving correctly to avoid negative consequences.
