GabiMclaugh92 - You are on the right track. Are you working off-line? I do not see new work here. Ask questions if you have them! PsycTeacher (talk) 19:26, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

PsycTeacher - I am working offline in Word and I plan to have everything I have so far moved over by tonight. Most of the information I have so far focuses on perceived self-efficacy and self-regulatory efficacy. These appear to have more to do with motivation than actual learning. The Grusec article is the only one that has much information on modeling and it is not an empirical article. Should I look for more articles that focus on modeling or focus on self-efficacy?

Is your first sentence a tip of the hat to Reciprocal Determinism? Yes or no, please elaborate a bit on that assertion. I have stressed conservation of words, but you need to use enough words to make your narrative more readable. Are you looking for an example of an EBP that demonstrates Bandura in applied settings? You don't need to apply all elements of his complex theory, just a few elements. Keep working hard. PsycTeacher (talk) 00:39, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

The first sentence is a tip of the hat to reciprocal determinism, however, it was meant to be a general statement covering the main point of Bandura's social cognitive theory. According to my understanding of what I have read, reciprocal determinism appears to point out the reciprocal relationships between modeling, self-regulation, and self-efficacy as they relate to the individual, their environment, and their behavior. At least that's is what I am understanding, please let me know if that frame of thought is off track. Yes, I am looking for an example of an EBP that demonstrates Bandura in applied settings. I have found a good bit of information on how his research impacts education and how his research can be used to make predictions, however, I cannot seem to find an example of an evidence based practice that demonstrates Bandura in applied settings for anything other than academic advising. Can you point me in the right direction? GabiMclaugh92 (talk) 22:57, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Am I heading in the right direction? I may very well be making a simple process into an extremely complicated one. Should I be condensing or expanding the information I have so far?

Am I good to go ahead and copy this section into the main article? GabiMclaugh92 (talk) 17:03, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Gabi -- I've not researched Bandura much, but I like your article. I don't understand the last sentence in the first paragraph, however. What about those items?Sev0500 (talk) 21:55, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Sev0500 -- Thank you for your feedback. I changed the wording in the last sentence. Does it make more sense now? GabiMclaugh92 (talk) 23:11, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

It makes much more sense now. I believe you've done a great job. Congratulations!Sev0500 (talk) 13:17, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

I noticed a few grammatical errors in your Education section. Is the first time you use effected correct, or should it be affected? Also, make sure you are using commas to break up some of the sentences. This sentence, "Self-regulation functions using goal setting, self-monitoring, and self-influence." is an incomplete sentence that did not make sense to me. Great use of citation tool and remaining unbiased and neutral on your response though! Keep up the good work!

CCMcgrew -- Thank you for your input. I had accidentally switched affect with effect the first time I used it. I am still continuing to comb through my section for grammatical errors, but often a few fall through the cracks. Also, more comma's were added to help the flow of this section. Thank you for pointing these out to me. GabiMclaugh92 (talk) 15:43, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Your writing flows well. However, I have a couple of suggestions for noun-pronoun agreement. In the last sentence in the first paragraph, I suggest you use singular pronouns "his or her" in front  of "environment" and "behavior" to match the noun "individual," or change "individual" to a plural word such as "people" or "learners" to match the plural pronouns "their." A similar change should occur in the last sentence of the second paragraph as well. "Affect" is used correctly:-)M02000297 (talk) 01:09, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

M02000297 -- Thank you! I have worked on my noun-pronoun agreement, replacing "individual" with "his or her". I still have a long way to go before this section is where I would like it to be. Thank you very much for helping me get it there. GabiMclaugh92 (talk) 15:43, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
