  14. Psychology theory related to mentoring • Social learning theory is derived from the work of Cornell Montgomery (1843-1904) which proposed that: • Social learning occurred through four main stages of imitation: - close contact, - imitation of superiors, - understanding of concepts, - develop the role model behavior (observing, imitating, and reinforcements)

  15. Psychology theory related to mentoring • Rotter Social Learning Theory: • Rotter (1954) suggests that behavior is influenced by : - psychological - environment - stimulus factors. • If one expects a positive outcome from a behavior, then they will be more likely to engage in that behavior. • The positive outcomes will lead a person to repeat the behavior and reinforce the behavior

  16. Psychology theory related to mentoring • Albert Bandura (1977) expanded on Rotter's idea. • Bandura suggests that learning involved both behavioral and cognitive learning. • Behavioral learning assumes that people's environment (surroundings) cause people to behave in certain ways. • Cognitive learning assumes that psychological factors are important for influencing how one behaves. • Bandura Social Learning Theory: proposed that people learn and model behavior through 4 stages: - attention, - retention (remembering what one observed), - reproduction (ability to reproduce the behavior), and - motivation (good reason) to want to adopt the behavior.
