THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
HOLLAND’S OCCUPATIONAL SIX PERSONALITY TYPES THEORY
According to John Holland, PH.D., a psychologist who devoted his entire professional life to researching issues related to career choice and also a professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins University, if you can match your job personality type and your work environment; you can improve your success and satisfaction. To put it simply from a job personality standpoint is just like the idea of “birds of the same feather, flock together,” we just need to replace the variable “bird” with “people;” and that people with the same personality type tend to enjoy working with each other. For example, a sociable person enjoys working with other sociable people. Same personality type

It considers that people learn from one another, including such concepts as observational learning, imitation, and modeling. There are three key components to Bandura’s social learning theory (Abbott, n.d.) observational learning, imitation, and behavior modeling (Bruner, 1990; Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976). Bandura’s social learning theory is based on the idea that observational learning involves the fact that humans often cannot learn for themselves. The learner has the power to influence their learning in new situations by controlling the surrounding environment — whether that environment is imposed, selected or constructed (Bandura 1999).

It is possible that it is affected by family or close friends of the students depending on the circumstances. The student shows inconsistency during the stage of choosing or decision-making.
The variable interest is personal preferences based on the enthusiasm of the student in choosing a specific strand based on his or her preferred personal interest or mindset. A student is not directly affected by the influence of people around him or her. They stay committed to their personality based on the given fact that they are not conveyed by the decision of others and no matter what the circumstances may arise; they remain truthful in their behavior while choosing.
The variable decision is the behavior and the reaction of a student in a given circumstance where he/she will be affected by the external factor (influence) or remain true to his personal growth (interest) while making a selection from the different strands in Senior High School. Many factors will affect the circumstances in decision phase like the lack of confidence of the student to pursue his/her own interest so thereby contemplating on the influence of his/her environment. The mindset of the student to stay committed on his/her desired strand no matter what happens, and also lastly, the perception of the student to be neutral or choose the one or
The learning theory selected for this essay is the social learning theory proposed by Albert Bandura during the 1960s. The theory was influential in explaining how learning takes place in a social environment. This theory helped to emphasize the role of the social environment in the learning process. According to the social learning theory, an individual learns through the influences of the environment on the mind. The sense impressions from the environment are instrumental in shaping perceptions and connections that promote
Noteworthy due mostly to the work of Albert Bandura, social learning theory attempts to explain behavior through the interaction of three variables: the environment, the behavior, and psychological processes. With his model, Bandura stepped away from strict behaviorism and opened the doors for the cognitivist movement. His premise is that human behavior and learning is influenced by a complex network of observations made about the behaviors, beliefs, and emotional responses of those in our
Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory describes the process through which people acquire new info, forms of behavior, or attitudes from others firsthand or vicariously. The likelihood of a behavior presenting itself will rely on the amount of reinforcement it receives and the value that the individual associates to it. While some behavior may be rewarded, others may produce unfavorable responses. An individual will learn from the consequences of these actions and when a similar situation arises, they will alter their behavior according to what was most successful in the past.
Internal validity of this study included data collection process and student personal interest in education. For example, students may have scored in exam because they concern about their own education. Reliability of this study instrument has not been tested. This is the first time this group will have this survey. There is no former survey to use as a standard to see if there are many changes.
Social learning theory, developed by Bandura, discusses how people learn from one another through observation, modeling, and imitation bridging an individual’s attention, memory and motivation. Social learning theory identifies the importance of cognition, observable behavior, individual self-efficacy, and the extent of how the events surrounding an individual affect them; their locus of control. Social learning theory also looks at individual problem behavior being influenced by positive or negative reinforcement (Ashford & LeCroy, 2012).
Behaviouristic theories of learning are essentially theories of conditioning and emphasize the role of reinforcement in learning. One of the mot predominant theories is Albert Bandura’s social learning theory, which assumes that. People learn through observing others’ behavior, attitudes, and outcomes of those behaviors which is called observational learning, that is an indirect form of learning known as vicarious learning and indirect forms of reinforcement which is called vicarious reinforcement .Bandura renamed SLT as social cognitive theory to accommodate the ever increasing importance in his thinking of cognitive factors .SLT has also
The social learning theory suggests that people learn new behaviors through observation of factors in their environment, by taking note of other’s
Albert Bandura (1977), the originator of social learning theory, focused his research on the process of how people learn through observation. Social Learning stems from a cognitive and behavioral theory model. This is demonstrated through the well-known Bobo Doll experiment. The experiment entailed a child observing an adult being aggressive towards the Bobo Doll (Pavlov et al., 1961). The results indicated that children imitated the observed behaviors of being aggressive towards the doll (Pavlov et al., 1961).
A. Basic Concepts 1. Observational LearningThe Social Learning Theory says that people canlearn by watching other people perform the behavior. Observational learningexplains the nature of children to learn behaviors by watching the behaviorof the people around them, and eventually, imitating them. With the ―Bobo Doll‖ experiment(s) , Bandura included an adult who is tasked to actaggressively toward a Bobo Doll while the children observe him. Later,Bandura let the children play inside a room with the Bobo Doll.
In this essay, I will try to evaluate Social learning theory as originated by Albert Bandura. I am going to use three pieces of evidence, in a form of case studies, which have been done previously to support or contradict Bandura’s theory. I will demonstrate my knowledge of these studies throughout their analysis, trying to highlight their strengths and limitations.
Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory is a theory that includes development theories in order to understand how children learn. Bandura’s theory is based on how people can learn by observing others, how internal mental states influence people, and how learning something does not change one’s behavior every time. Bandura was able to find out that people learn by three observational models. The first model is the live model which includes observing how someone demonstrates the behavior, the verbal instruction model which learning occurs through auditory directions, and the symbolic model where modeling occurs through media sources such as internet, movies, and books.
I believe that intrinsic factors play an equal role in the outcome of both the interest profiler and work value assessment results. Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory influenced my idea of this possibility. I learned from him that intrinsic and external factors play an important role in shaping an individual. Bandura identifies that our environment alone does not produce causation, but instead personal factors we experience is what has a significant affect on it (Bandura, 1999). Personal factors are unique to us and are correlated to age, gender, race, and even religious beliefs. The way we act, think, and respond is created by a combination of both intrinsic and external forces. It is these forces that guide our decision-making process that helps create our personality and interest. Bandura refers to the combination of environment, intrinsic, and external factors as multicausality (Bandura, 1999). As I looked more closely at how each individual intrinsic factor affects our personality, I found a study conducted by researchers with Michigan State University that further identified how age specifically influences our personality traits. The researchers found that there is a slight change of personality from emerging adulthood to adulthood. (Hopwood, et al. 2011). Which added to a past study conducted by Erick Erickson. Erickson identified a shift of values through his research on the generativity-versus-stagnation stage. He stated that our career interest will shift
In regards to social cognitive theory, one is looking at the fact that people learn by observing behavioral

Albert Bandura is considered the developer of social learning theory, which is also known as social cognitive theory (Corey, 2013; Feist et al., 2013; Thoma et al., 2015). Badura’s theory, while based upon the principles of behaviorism, departs from the traditional behavioral model and leaves room for the exploration of unobservable mental states and their influence on behavior (Corey, 2013; Thoma et al., 2015). Social Cognitive theory bases its theory of learning on two types of learning processes: observational learning and enactive learning (Feist et al., 2013). In contrast to Skinner’s belief that reinforcement is required for learning, Bandura believes that learning is possible simply by observing the behavior of others; while reinforcement facilitates learning, it is not a necessary requirement (Feist et al., 2013). Enactive learning is learning through direct experience, and is similar to the concept of operant conditioning; people determine appropriate behaviors by evaluating their behavior and the potential consequences thereof (Feist et al., 2013). Where behavioral theory adopts the ABC approach to behavior, social cognitive theory uses a BPE approach known as Triadic Reciprocal Causation. In TRC, BPE stands for behavior, person variables, and environment (Feist et al., 2013). Within the TRC, the term person encompasses many variables including memory, judging, anticipation, gender, social position, physical attributes, and planning; the belief is that
