While watching the film Going on 13, I learned a lot about you. The film showed the struggles that you were experiencing in school, at home, and in your personal life. While watching the film it reminded me of some of the things I have been learning in my Psychology of Women course. Throughout the film I noticed you displayed social learning theory. Social learning theory relates to how environments can teach children about gendered behaviors. Social learning theory show people how they are supposed to behavior based on their gender. For instance, females are supposed to care for the children and the household, while males are supposed to do outdoor chores and provide for the family. In other words, social learning theory is based on gender and often follow traditional gender roles.

For instance, when you said her parents do not let you wear hoochie clothes. Then you went on to say that you want to wear short clothes like other girls. More simply, you are used to seeing girls dress a certain way and they get attention. You noticed that girls who dressed that way were being complimented about their appearance, so you internalized that if you dress that way you will get the same attention. The film displayed that you were bullied in school, so it seems like if you wanted to sexualize yourself, so you will be complimented instead of bullied or made fun of. However, dressing sexual will attract the wrong type of attention. For instance, males may notice you for your appearance or your body instance of her personality or intelligence. More simply, dressing sexual may make people view you differently, because of the way you are dressing. Therefore, you should continue to be you and not sexualize yourself, because people that care for you will compliment and love you regardless of what you 're

Burak defines gender socialization as “the process of interaction through which we learn the gender norms of our culture and acquire a sense of ourselves as feminine, masculine, or even androgynous” (Burack, 1). According to Burack, people of different genders behave differently not due to biological factors, but due to socialization that teaches individuals to behave in a particular way in order to belong to a certain gender. For example, women may tend to be nurturing, not because they are biologically programed to be caretakers, but as a result of society teaching them through toys and media to act as mothers. In this way, gender becomes a performance based on expectations rather than natural behaviors or biology, a phenomenon called “doing

Over the past years, the self-control theory claims that the sole of crime is self-control and that parenting has big influence on it which is contradicted by some critics. One of the critics against this argument is Ronald Akers, the proponent of social learning theory. Akers claims that persons engage in criminal behavior when their obedience to the norms of the society is decreased and they differently associate with persons who commit deviant acts (Akers & Jennings, 2009). To date, however, there is no common publication about the comparative explanatory power of the two theories. Nevertheless, some researches were conducted in other countries especially western countries to compare said theories.

Lying is an unavoidable part of human nature and is ingrained at a very young age. It's common to think it is immoral to lie because it can negatively affect the trust people have with each other.

The social learning theory refers to learning as a cognitive process that takes place in a social context and can occur purely through observation.

Many people have classified her dress as “too form-fitting” and “too clubby”. It led to discussions about how overly sexualized women’s bodies are in society. The film touched on this topic various times. For example, a Cosmopolitan article gave advice on the “right” kind of makeup to attract men during sex. The ladies in the film laughed off the article’s ridiculousness but the sad thing is that the article actually was a true representation of how women are treated in society.

Since it is already past halfway through the semester (time flies!) , I have already had midterms in a couple of my classes at Wake Technical Community College. However for one of these classes (Social Psychology) we were given a split midterm in which half of it was an essay portion that was to be taken in class and the other was a multiple choice portion that was to be completed over the weekend. Although they were two pieces to the same midterm, the process of completing each one contrasted drastically in comparison with one another. From my perspective, the essay portion of the test was very high pressure because it not only required me to define, identify, and apply different psychological concepts to a real life scenario, but it forced

It acknowledges the abilities of the individual, the general rules in which are observed affecting both learning as well as imitation. For secondary teachers, this type of learning can be used to explain a wide variety of behaviours. I find this theory influential as social skills begin with the way the teacher models things for the class. Students watch how teachers act and will emulate the things done in a number of ways. For example, a technology secondary teacher applying this theory in the classroom would model for the students how to set up the sewing machine properly.
