Social Cognitive Theory
Social Cognitive Learning Theory – formerly known as Social Learning Theory – assumes that humans learn behaviour through observational learning—in other words, people can learn by watching models and imitating their behaviour. Sometimes the model is trying to have a direct effect on the learner—for example, when a teacher instructs children how to solve a problem—but...

The InThinking IB Psychology website was extremely helpful during my first two years teaching IB Psychology. I have been able to easily gain access and insight into the IB curriculum.
InThinking has been a tremendous help for a first time IB Psychology teacher. The students have found the lessons relevant and rigorous. I am very impressed by the variety of materials and writing samples available on the website.
Gracias por toda la informacón provista.

Preeti, yes.

Alex, please see my response to your question here:

Good afternoon John, I'm new to IB Psych (honestly Psych in general) and have been selected to advise four students writing their EE in Psych. Can you give me guidance on the following RQ's to see if they need to be changed or "tweeked"? 1....

so if there is research that addresses the whole triad then the RQ is fine?
-
Hi, John, At a Cat 2 workshop last year, it was discussed that when the IA is completed, teachers should mark and annotate the student's work. Can you clarify this a little as to what is required by way of annotations?
-
Thank you, Chris. It is now fixed.
-
Dear Preeti - I agree, but I think that it is important that if she wants to write about all three, then the research used should address the whole triad and not just some studies on narcissicism, some on machiavellianism, etc.
