Social learning theory was renamed (and reconceived) as Social Cognitive
Theory by Albert Bandura in 1986. Major concepts of this theory include:

environment
situation
behavioral capability
expectations
expectancies
self-control
observational learning
reinforcements
self-efficacy
emotional coping responses, and
reciprocal determinism

A good (and brief compared to Bandura's own tome!) overview of the theory
can be found in Glanz, K., Lewis, F.M. and Rimer, B.K. (1997). Health
behavior and health education. Jossey-Bass:San Francisco. The chapter is
called, "How individuals, environments, and health behavior interact," by
Tom Baranowski, Cheryl Perry and Guy Parcel.

Hope this helps!

does anyone know what the concepts in the social learning theory are?  I
understand that this theory is sometimes used when designing interventions
for children.  Any weblinks or other information that details the major
concepts and strenghts/weaknesses of the theory would be greatly
appreciated.

You might be thinking of the Transtheoretical Model (Prochaska &
DiClimente), which describes 5 stages of change: precontemplation,
contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance (and sometimes a sixth,
relapse).

Hi there,

I need some help with the model of 5 steps to changing behaviour that is
very often used to base health promotion projects on.  If anyone is able to
enlighten me on the name of the model, the steps involved etc I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jo
