Week 3B

While Bandura details many environmental influences, there is room to expand. One area is the impact of socioeconomic factors. Socioeconomic status can significantly affect an individual's opportunities and shape their development. Living within different economic brackets can profoundly influence how individuals interact with their environment and the degree to which they influence over their surroundings.

Bandura extensively addresses environmental influences in his work. He suggests that individuals are both products and producers of their environment, emphasizing the intricate interactions between personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Bandura describes several key concepts, including reciprocal determinism, observational learning, self-efficacy beliefs, and environmental structuring. These concepts collectively explain how individuals are shaped by their environment and, in turn, how they influence their surroundings and behavior.
