What does Bandura's social cognitive theory consider?

Ternary interaction determinism, observational learning, and self-efficacy.

Social cognitive theory is in the late 1970s the American psychologist Bandura's theory of education, the 1990s has been developed rapidly, in the traditional behaviorist theory of personality added cognitive components, forming its own social cognitive theory.

Social cognitive theory is one of the key theories of social psychology, a theory used to explain the process of social learning in which social cognitive theorists portray individuals as actively processing events and developing expectations about reinforcement, rather than as people who behave automatically based on previously dependent reinforcers.

According to Bandura's theory, individual expectations about the reinforcement of a behavior are more important than whether or not that behavior has been previously reinforced. In addition he argues that the history of reinforcement has no direct effect on an individual's cognition. Instead it is filtered through an individual's memories, interpretations, and biases.

Interactive Determinism, a theory about the determinants of human behavior proposed by the American psychologist Bandura in the 1970s. The theory suggests that people and their environments interact, and that people create environmental conditions through their actions, which in turn have an effect on their behavior.

Observational learning refers to the idea that people can learn a complex behavior simply by observing the actions of others (role models) and their results; it is also known as vicarious learning and learning without trying.

And according to Bandura, i.e., all sociological behaviors of human beings are developed under the influence of the social environment and through observational learning of others' modeled behaviors and their results. It is not necessary to make the behavior directly, does not depend on direct reinforcement, is cognitive in nature, is not equivalent to imitation, and can improve the efficiency of learning.

Self-efficacy refers to an individual's speculation and judgment about his or her ability to perform a certain behavior. Bandura defines self-efficacy as "the degree to which people are confident in their ability to use the skills they possess to accomplish a particular work behavior."

Bandura believes that there is an expectation of efficacy in addition to an expectation of outcome. Outcome expectations refer to a person's presumption that a certain behavior will lead to a certain outcome. If a person predicts that a particular behavior will lead to a particular outcome, then that behavior is likely to be activated and chosen.
