-'''Albert Bandura''' (born December 4, 1925) is a [[psychologist]] who is the David Starr Jordan Professor Emeritus of Social Science in Psychology at [[Stanford University]]. For almost six decades, he has been responsible for contributions to many fields of psychology, including [[social cognitive theory]], [[therapy]] and [[personality psychology]], and was also influential in the transition between [[behaviorism]] and [[cognitive psychology]]. He is known as the originator of [[social learning theory]] and the theoretical construct of [[self-efficacy]], and is also responsible for the influential 1961 [[Bobo doll experiment]].
-A 2002 survey ranked Bandura as the fourth most-frequently cited psychologist of all time, behind [[B. F. Skinner]], [[Sigmund Freud]], and [[Jean Piaget]], and as the most cited living one.<ref>Haggbloom S.J. (2002).

-In 1974 Bandura was elected to be the Eighty-Second President of the [[American Psychological Association]] (APA). He was one of the youngest president-elects in the history of the APA at the age of 46. Bandura served as a member of the APA Board of Scientific Affairs from 1968 to 1970 and is well known as a member of the editiorial board of nine psychology journals including the ''[[Journal of Personality and Social Psychology]]'' from 1963 to 1972.<ref>http://search.proquest.com.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/docview/614419572/fulltextPDF?accountid=14771</ref> At the age of 82, Bandura was awarded the [[Grawemeyer Award]] for psychology and is known as one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century. <ref>Boswell, Randy, [http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=48cdc46f-fa8a-4f03-8be2-5463567e17cf "Canadian-born psychology legend wins $200,000 prize"], "Vancouver Sun", December 6, 2007</ref>
-==Personal life==
-Bandura was born in [[Mundare]], in [[Alberta]], a small town of roughly four hundred inhabitants, as the youngest child, and only son, in a family of six. The limitations of education in a remote town such as this caused Bandura to become independent and self-motivated in terms of learning, and these primarily developed traits proved very helpful in his lengthy career.<ref>"Bandura, Albert." ''Psychologists and Their Theories for Students''. Ed. Kristine Krapp. Vol. 1. Detroit: Gale, 2005. 39–66. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 3 Apr. 2012.</ref> Bandura is of [[Ukrainians|Ukrainian]] and [[Poles|Polish]] descent.
-Bandura's parents were a key influence in encouraging him to seek ventures out of the small hamlet they resided in. The summer after finishing high school, Bandura worked in the [[Yukon]] to protect the [[Alaska Highway]] against sinking. Bandura later credited his work in the northern [[tundra]] as the origin of his interest in human [[psychopathology]]. It was in this experience in the Yukon, where he was exposed to a subculture of drinking and gambling, which helped broaden his perspective and scope of views on life.<ref>[http://journals2.scholarsportal.info.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/tmp/18127681432346164903.pdf]</ref>
-Bandura arrived in the US in 1949 and was naturalized in 1956. He married Virginia Varns (1921&mdash;2011) in 1952,<ref name=varnsobit>[http://www.paloaltoonline.com/obituaries/memorials/virginia-belle-bandura?o=1489 "Virginia Belle Bandura, Dec. 6, 1921-Oct. 10, 2011, Stanford, California"] at ''Lasting Memories: An online directory of obituaries and remembrances of Midpeninsula Residents''. (accessed 6 December 2012)</ref> and they raised two daughters, Carol and Mary.<ref>{{cite web | title = Marquis biographies online: Profile detail, Albert Bandura | url = http://search.marquiswhoswho.com/profile/100002238841 | publisher = Marquis Who's Who | accessdate = August 6, 2012}}</ref>
-== Education and academic career ==
-Bandura's introduction to academic psychology came about by a fluke; as a student with little to do in the early mornings, he took a psychology course to pass the time, and became enamored of the subject. Bandura graduated in three years, in 1949, with a B.A. from the [[University of British Columbia]], winning the Bolocan Award in psychology, and then moved to the then-epicenter of theoretical psychology, the [[University of Iowa]], from where he obtained his M.A. in 1951 and Ph.D. in 1952. [[Arthur Benton]] was his academic adviser at Iowa,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.des.emory.edu/mfp/banconversion.html |title=See end of page for Bandura's own statement |publisher=Des.emory.edu |date= |accessdate=December 30, 2010}}</ref>  giving Bandura a direct academic descent from [[William James]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.des.emory.edu/mfp/bangenealogy.html |title=Bandura's Professional Genealogy |publisher=Des.emory.edu |date= |accessdate=December 30, 2010}}</ref>  while [[Clark Hull]] and [[Kenneth Spence]] were influential collaborators. During his Iowa years, Bandura came to support a style of psychology which sought to investigate psychological phenomena through repeatable, experimental testing. His inclusion of such mental phenomena as imagery and [[Representation (psychology)|representation]], and his concept of [[reciprocal determinism]], which postulated a relationship of mutual influence between an agent and its environment, marked a radical departure from the dominant behaviorism of the time. Bandura's expanded array of conceptual tools allowed for more potent modeling of such phenomena as observational learning and self-regulation, and provided psychologists with a practical way in which to theorize about mental processes, in opposition to the mentalistic constructs of [[psychoanalysis]] and [[personality psychology|personology]].<ref name="webspace.ship.edu"/>
-=== Post-doctoral work ===
-Upon graduation, he participated in a clinical internship with the Wichita Kansas Guidance Center.  The following year, he accepted a teaching position at [[Stanford University]] in 1953, which he holds to this day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stanford.edu/dept/psychology/system/files/BanduraCV.pdf |title=Microsoft Word – BanduraCV.doc |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=December 30, 2010}}</ref> In 1974, he was elected president of the [[American Psychological Association]] (APA), which is the world's largest association of psychologists.<ref name=AAAS /> Bandura would later state the only reason he agreed to be in the running for the APA election was because he wanted his 15 minutes of fame without any intentions of being elected.<ref>{{cite book | editors = M.

-== Research ==
-Bandura was initially influenced by Robert Sears' work on familial antecedents of [[social behavior]] and identificatory learning. He directed his initial research to the role of social [[Modeling (psychology)|modeling]] in human [[motivation]], thought, and action. In collaboration with Richard Walters, his first doctoral student, he engaged in studies of [[Social learning theory|social learning]] and [[aggression]]. Their joint efforts illustrated the critical role of modeling in human behavior and led to a program of research into the determinants and mechanisms of [[observational learning]].
-=== Social learning theory ===
-The initial phase of Bandura's research analyzed the foundations of human learning and the willingness of children and adults to imitate behavior observed in others, in particular, aggression.
-He found that according to Social Learning theory, models are an important source for learning new behaviors and for achieving behavioral change in institutionalized settings.<ref>Henry P Sims Jr. & Charles C Manz (1982): Social Learning Theory, Journal
-of Organizational Behavior Management, 3:4, 55–63.</ref>
-Social learning theory posits that there are three regulatory systems that control behavior. First, the antecedent inducements greatly influence the time and response of behavior. The stimulus that occurs before the behavioral response must be appropriate in relationship to social context and performers. Second, response feedback
-influences also serve an important function. Following a response, the
-reinforcements, by experience or observation, will greatly impact the
-occurrence of the behavior in the future. Third, the importance of cognitive functions in social learning. For example, for aggressive behavior to occur some
-people become easily angered by the sight or thought of individuals
-with whom they have had hostile encounters, and this memory is acquired
-through the learning process.<ref>Bandura, A. (1973). Aggression: A social learning analysis. Englewood Cliffs, NJ:Prentice-Hall.</ref>
-===Aggression===
-His research with Walters led to his first book, ''Adolescent Aggression'' in 1959, and to a subsequent book, ''Aggression: A Social Learning Analysis'' in 1973. During a period dominated by behaviorism in the mold of [[B.F. Skinner]], Bandura believed the sole behavioral modifiers of [[Reinforcement|reward]] and [[punishment (psychology)|punishment]] in [[classical conditioning|classical]] and [[operant conditioning]] were inadequate as a framework, and that many human behaviors were learned from other humans. Bandura began to analyze means of treating unduly aggressive children by identifying sources of violence in their lives. Initial research in the area had begun in the 1940s under [[Neal Miller]] and [[John Dollard]]; his continued work in this line eventually culminated in the [[Bobo doll experiment]], and in 1977's hugely influential treatise, ''[[Social Learning Theory]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.criminology.fsu.edu/crimtheory/bandura.htm |title=Albert Bandura |publisher=Criminology.fsu.edu |date=November 30, 1998 |accessdate=December 30, 2010}}</ref> Many of his innovations came from his focus on empirical investigation and reproducible investigation, which were alien to a field of [[psychology]] dominated by the theories of Freud.
-In 1961 Bandura conducted a controversial experiment known as the [[Bobo doll experiment]], designed to show that similar behaviors were learned by individuals shaping their own behavior after the actions of models. Bandura's results from this experiment changed the course of modern psychology,{{citation needed |date=February 2012}} and were widely credited for helping shift the focus in academic psychology from pure [[behaviorism]] to [[cognitive psychology]].{{citation needed |date=February 2012}} Moreover, the Bobo doll experiment emphasized how young individuals are influenced by the acts of adults. When the adults were praised for their aggressive behaviour, the children were more likely to keep on hitting the doll. However, when the adults were punished, they consequently stopped hitting the doll as well. The experiment is among the most lauded and celebrated of psychological experiments. However, the experiment was criticized by some on ethical grounds,{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} for training children towards aggression.
-===Social cognitive theory===
-By the mid-1980s, Bandura's research had taken a more holistic bent, and his analyses tended towards giving a more comprehensive overview of human cognition in the context of social learning. The theory he expanded from social learning theory soon became known as [[social cognitive theory]].
-==== Social foundations of thought and action ====
-In 1986, Bandura published ''[[Social Foundations of Thought and Action|Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory]]'' (see [[Social Foundations of Thought and Action|article]]), in which he reconceptualized individuals as self-organizing, proactive, self-reflecting, and self-regulating, in opposition to the orthodox conception of humans as governed by external forces. He advanced concepts of [[triadic reciprocality]], which determined the connections between human behavior, environmental factors, and personal factors such as cognitive, affective, and biological events, and of [[reciprocal determinism]], governing the causal relations between such factors. Bandura's emphasis on the capacity of agents to self-organize and self-regulate would eventually give rise to his later work on self-efficacy.
-=== Self-efficacy ===
-In 1963, he published ''Social Learning and Personality Development.'' In 1974, [[Stanford University]] awarded him an endowed chair and he became David Starr Jordan Professor of Social Science in Psychology. In 1977, he published ''Social Learning Theory'', a book that altered the direction psychology took in the 1980s.{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}}
-While investigating the processes by which modeling alleviates [[phobia|phobic]] disorders in snake-phobics, he found that [[self-efficacy]] beliefs (which the phobic individuals had in their own capabilities to alleviate their phobia) mediated changes in behavior and in fear-arousal. He   launched a major program of research examining the influential role of self-referent thought in psychological functioning. Although he continued to explore and write on theoretical problems relating to myriad topics, from the late 1970s he devoted much attention to exploring the role of self-efficacy beliefs in human functioning.
-In fact, in 2004 Bandura, in conjunction with Charles Benight, found that utilizing the same self-efficacy based beliefs that were implemented for his phobia studies produced similar results on people who suffered from severe debilitating trauma.  It was not only found useful for the trauma suffered by natural disaster survivors, but also those returning veterans that suffer post-traumatic stress disorder that include pervasive hyper-vigilance and recurrent flashbacks. By establishing a perceived sense of control (self-efficacy) over their traumatic experience (cognitively or physically) the veterans and hurricane survivors were able to overcome their distress and trauma and move forward.<ref>Benight, C.C. & Bandura, A. (2004). Social cognitive theory of posttraumatic recovery:The role of perceived self-efficacy. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 42 (10), 1129–1148</ref>
-In 1986 he published ''[[Social Foundations of Thought and Action|Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory]]'', a book in which he offered a social cognitive theory of human functioning that accords a central role to cognitive, vicarious, self-regulatory and self-reflective processes in human adaptation and change. This theory has its roots in an agentic perspective that views people as self-organizing, proactive, self-reflecting and self-regulating, not just as reactive organisms shaped by [[Natural environment|environmental]] forces or driven by inner impulses. His book, ''[[Self-efficacy: The exercise of control]]'' was published in 1997.
-In addition to Bandura’s work on self-efficacy in relation to phobias and trauma, he also contributed, in 2008 with Caprara and colleagues, a significant amount to the study of self-efficacy in the education system. His focus was on the continuing technological explosion, in that with more information readily available than ever before the education system needs to focus on teaching students self-regulating efficacy. He argued that self-regulating efficacy is the focus on bolstering students belief that they can not only stay up to date with current technology, but also avoid becoming overwhelmed with its continual shift.  He stated that this will be invaluable as jobs focus more on cognitive abilities as well as flexibility in light of technologies ever-changing use and applicability.<ref>Caprara. (2008). Longitudinal analysis of the role of perceived self-efficacy for self-regulatory learning in academic continuance an achievement, Journal of Educational Psychology, 100(3) 525–534.</ref>
-===Moral agency===
-Bandura applied his [[human agency|human agentic]] view via [[social cognitive theory]] for the personal and social aspects of control over [[moral values]] and conduct.  In particular, he states that in the social cognitive theory of the moral self, [[moral reasoning]] is linked to moral action through affective self-regulatory mechanisms by which moral agency is exercised.<ref name=Bandura>Bandura, A. (2002).  Selective moral disengagement in the exercise of moral agency. Journal of Moral Education, 31 (2), 102.</ref>  However these self-regulatory mechanisms have to be activated psychosocially.  Bandura found interest in the role that human agency plays when a society does not have safeguards set against particular lapses in [[moral judgment]] that an individual finds justification, morally or otherwise.
-First, all people are capable of two [[moral agency|morally agentic]] abilities, to act humanely and to not act inhumanely.  Selective [[moral disengagement]] occurs when a person actively disengages their self-regulating efficacy for moral conduct.<ref name="Bandura" />
-Selective moral disengagement occurs via a “cognitive restructuring” of the inhumane acts into something justifiable.  He states the specific processes in which this occurs, they are as follows: moral justification, sanitizing language, exonerative social comparison, disavowal of personal agency in the harm one causes by diffusion or displacement of responsibility, disregarding or minimizing the injurious effects of one’s actions, and attribution of blame to/dehumanization of those who are victimized.<ref name="Bandura" />
-==Awards==
-Bandura has received more than sixteen honorary degrees, including those from the [[University of British Columbia]], [[Alfred University]], the [[Sapienza University of Rome|University of Rome]], the [[University of Lethbridge]], the [[University of Salamanca]] in Spain, [[Indiana University]], the [[University of New Brunswick]], [[Penn State University]], [[Leiden University]], and [[Freie Universitat Berlin]], the [[Graduate Center of the City University of New York]], [[Universitat Jaume I]] in Spain, the [[University of Athens]] and the [[University of Catania]].
-He was elected a Fellow of the [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]] in 1980.<ref name=AAAS>{{cite web|title=Book of Members, 1780–2010: Chapter B|url=http://www.amacad.org/publications/BookofMembers/ChapterB.pdf|publisher=American Academy of Arts and Sciences|accessdate=May 17, 2011}}</ref> He received the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the [[American Psychological Association]] in 1980 for pioneering the research in the field of [[self-regulated learning]].<ref>Barry Zimmerman.
