Key Concepts

Social-Cognitive Learning Theory

This theory explains that behavior is learned through observing others and modeling their actions, as well as through the consequences that follow these behaviors. It emphasizes the interplay between external social influences and internal cognitive processes, meaning that people not only imitate observed behaviors but also use their own reasoning and judgment to decide when such behaviors are appropriate.

Cognitive Appraisal

This concept involves the process by which individuals evaluate and interpret events, determining whether a particular response is justified. In the context of aggression, cognitive appraisal helps explain why people may decide to respond aggressively when they believe that such behavior is warranted or acceptable, based on their personal evaluations of the provocation.
