Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the social-cognitive approach to personality emphasizes the role of observational learning, self-efficacy, and cognitive processes in shaping personality.
Recall that Albert Bandura is widely recognized for his work on social learning theory, which later evolved into the social-cognitive theory, highlighting how people learn behaviors by observing others and the importance of cognitive factors.
Recognize that Sigmund Freud is associated with psychoanalytic theory, focusing on unconscious motives and childhood experiences rather than social-cognitive processes.
Note that Karen Horney contributed to psychoanalytic and feminist psychology, emphasizing social and cultural influences but not specifically the social-cognitive approach.
Understand that Carl Jung developed analytical psychology, focusing on archetypes and the collective unconscious, which differs from the social-cognitive perspective.
