Albert Bandura Research Paper
Albert Bandura was born on December 4th in the year of 1925. He was born and raised in
the small town of Alberta, Canada from grade school all the way up to until high school. He had
five other sisters and was also the youngest out the bunch of them. Apparently, Albert Bandura’s
parents always encouraged him to venture out of the small town of Alberta, which then only
consisted of a population of about 400 people. After working in Yukon as a pothole filler on the
Alaskan Highway, Bandura then was inspired to attend school for human psychopathology.
Albert Bandura then traveled to the United States of America, obtaining a bachelor's
degree in psychology from UBC (the University of British Columbia) ; and a Ph.D. from UI (the

The successful finding that result out of the bobo doll experimental study, also helped
Albert Bandura conjure up suggested methods that could be used in therapy; a technique that
would become to be known as “self control therapy”. Steps of this therapeutic methods would
include behavioral charts, environmental planning and selfcontracts. The behavior charts were
selfobserved by the patient to help the patient list any changes that may occur before and after
therapy. (Example: Albert Bandura suggested they keep a log, journal or diary for realization
purposes and/or to mark any positive or negative progression that the patient may experience).
The second step included environmental planning for the patient. (Example: Whatever
environment would cause the patient to relapse in, they were suggested to stay away from that
environment). And the last and final step included the patient creating a contract for themselves
as a reward system for any positive progression. (Example: If there was no relapse in a week's
time, the patient could reward themselves by going out to buy a new item, or treat themselves
