Yuichi Shoda on Social Learning - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 475
SociaL Learning/Situations/Behavior/personality/Shoda/Smith: VsSocial Leraning Theory: Previous versions of social learning theory have sometimes been criticized for emphasizing the role of situational factors and basic learning mechanisms of behaviour acquisition and change while failing to specify internal ‘person’ variables that

(a) mediate the effects of situational variables on behaviour, and
(b) account for the individual differences that are so clearly evident to even the casual observer of human behaviour (Kenrick and Funder 1988)(1).

Solution/Shoda/Smith: Building on a theoretical article by Mischel (1973)(2) that specified a set of ‘person variables’ consistent with the social learning theory approach of that time, a more recent formulation has yielded a new model that specifies internal mediating factors in a way that helps account for both personality coherence and cross-situational variability in a way that helps resolve the personality paradox.
