Document Summary
Negative modeling what is it: within albert bandura"s proposal of social learning, negative modeling is understood as the imitation of behaviors of others that are not considered appropriate to be a socially adjusted individual . 1: they tend to be behaviors that involve some type of harm to others or to oneself, but with enough social pressure to imitate it, believing that it may involve some type of benefit. Miller and dollard tried to approach it from a behavioral perspective. Albert bandura proposed a theory of behavioral imitation to try to explain personality development through social learning. Thus, a person, seeing how others behave, gets an idea of what behavioral repertoires they should carry out and using them as a guide. Subsequently, whoever observes it feels identified with who is performing it and proceeds to imitate it. If the action involves some sort of short-term benefit or reward, you are more likely to assimilate it into your behavioral repertoire.
