The idea that people differ in the extent to which they observe, regulate, and control the public appearance of self is the premise behind ________
Ans. Social Cognitive theory
Social Cognitive Theory started as the Social Learning Theory (SLT) in the 1960s by Albert Bandura. It posits that learning occurs in a social context with a dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the person, environment, and behavior. The unique feature of SCT is the emphasis on social influence and its emphasis on external and internal social reinforcement. SCT considers the unique way in which individuals acquire and maintain behavior, while also considering the social environment in which individuals perform the behavior. The theory takes into account a person's past experiences, which factor into whether behavioral action will occur. These past experiences influences reinforcements, expectations, and expectancies, all of which shape whether a person will engage in a specific behavior and the reasons why a person engages in that behavior.
