Question

Cognitive dissonance, modeling, and reinforcement are all elements of:

Answer 1

These are elements of the Theory of social learning. This theory was written by Albert Bandura. He explains in his theory that learning processes are governed by certain behavioral and observational processes; Consider that we learn from children first through observation, calling this process modeled, then we learn it through the reinforcement we receive from the people around us.

 

Finally, another learning process theorist, Festinger, postulates that cognitive dissonances are created when two or more ideas or beliefs occur at the same time and are not compatible with each other. For example, you want to eat something sweet and, at the same time, you worry about gaining weight. And these dissonances are also forms of learning.
