Question

zach believes that he can cook a great meal for his wedding guests, so he decides to use his own recipes instead of hiring a caterer. according to social learning theory, this is referred to as ______. a.) imitation b.) expectancy c.) self-efficacy d.) reinforcement

Explanation:

In social learning theory, self - efficacy is the belief in one's own ability to successfully perform a task. Zach believes he can cook a great meal (perform the task of cooking for wedding guests), so this matches the concept of self - efficacy. Imitation is copying others' behavior, expectancy is about expected outcomes in a different context, and reinforcement is about consequences of behavior, none of which fit here as well as self - efficacy.

Answer:

c.) self - efficacy
