Social Learning and Personality Development. Outlines a set of social-learning principles that emphasize the role of social variables to a greater extent than existing learning theories and consequently appear more capable of accounting for the development and modification of human behavior. Concentrates on child behavior, because studies with children have in many cases yielded the most relevant data. Covers the role of imitation, reinforcement patterns and social behavior, development of self control and modification of behavior.
