Question

Michael grows up in a home where his father is generally unloving towards his mother. he observes his father yell at and degrade his mother, and he notices his mother never resists this treatment. based off of the work of bandura on observational learning, what might we predict about michael's own relationships when he is older?

Answer 1

He will most likely, unless affected on by a good influence, end up reflecting and lashing out like his father did. 

Answer 2

Albert Bandura is a psychologist from Canadian who created the Cognitive-Social Theory that was formerly known as Theory of Social Learning. This theory affirms that every person learns and acquires experiences observing the consequences within his environment, as well as the experiences of the people to whom he lives. In this sense, Michael will tend to repeat his father or his mother behavior on his romantic relationship when he became an adult.
