Evaluation of Bandura’s theory

  The theory of Bandura has been demonstrated to make powerful predictions and has generated useful applications in a large number of areas of human behaviour.

Bandura’s theory is well grounded in research. Its terms are very tightly and clearly defined and so they lend themselves well to empirical research.

Probably the most significant contribution of social cognitive theory is its applied value.

However in spite of the above merits Bandura’s theory has some limitations. These limitations are given below:

Behaviour has been found to be more consistent than is argued by Bandura’s theory which focuses a great deal on the situation. Some researchers have argued that the theory lacks attention to biological or hormonal processes.

Probably of most significance is the criticism that the theory is not unified. Concepts and processes such as observational learning and self-efficacy have been highly researched but there has been little explanation about the relationship among the concepts.
