Zusammenfassung
Soziales Lernen ist Lernen im und durch den sozialen Kontext: Während zunächst Kontingenzen zwischen äußeren Reizen und sichtbaren Verhaltensänderungen im Vordergrund standen, rückten schließlich kognitive Faktoren in den Blickpunkt des Interesses. Bandura wies im Rahmen von Untersuchungen zu seiner Theorie die große Bedeutung dieses dritten Lernmechanismus nach: Das Lernen anhand sozialer Modelle, auch als Imitations- oder Modelllernen bezeichnet. Rotter thematisierte in seiner Theorie die Bedeutung der Erwartung und des individuellen Wertes von Verstärkern. Seligman erstellte ein Modell des Lernens („gelernte Hilflosigkeit”), das die subjektive Kontrolle über die Verstärkung als zentrales Element von Lernen betont.
Abstract
The world and a person’s behaviour cause each other. Bandura suggested that environment causes behaviour, but also behaviour causes environment as well. He labelled this concept reciprocal determinism. Later, he started to look at personality as an interaction among three factors: the environment, behaviour, and the person’s psychological processes. These psychological processes consist of our ability to entertain images in our minds, and language.
Prior to the advent of Social Learning Theories, the dominant perspective in clinical psychology focused on people’s deep-seated instinctual motives as determining behaviour. Learning approaches were dominated by drive theory, which held that people are motivated by physiologically-based impulses that press the individual to satisfy them. The main idea in Julian Rotter’s Social Learning Theory is that personality represents an interaction of the individual with his or her environment. To understand behaviour, one must consider both the individual together with his or her life history of learning and experiences and the environment. Rotter describes personality as a relatively stable set of potentials for responding to situations in a particular way.
Seligman developed the idea of „learned helplessness”, a description of the effect of inescapable punishment. This model is suitable to explain human depression, causing the individual to rely fully on others for help
