Social learning theory was developed in the 1950s by Albert Bandura as a direct response to strict behaviorism as a means for explaining how individuals learn about their social worlds. Instead of solely examining the result of the outside environment on individual behavior, social learning theory is concerned with the reciprocal influence of environmental cues on an individual's behavior and the impact of their behavior on the environment. In addition, social learning theory places an emphasis on individuals' cognitive processes as they decide on future courses of action. Thus, social learning theory takes a middle ground position between social‐psychological theories that stress either environmental or internal cognitive processes as the sole component of learning
