“…FROM OBSERVING OTHERS ONE forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action.” – Albert Bandura
This concept was formalized by the said source in his Social Learning Theory, which states that "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling” (Bandura, 1977).

This one is the basis of my study.
It’s a good theory. But combined with the pressure of thesis writing, it convolutes my brain!
