"Televizyondaki saldırgan örneklere sık maruz kalmak kısa ve uzun vadede saldırgan davranışı arttırmaktadır.
Televizyonun en büyük tehlikesi izleyen kişileri duyarsızlaştırması ve gerçeklik algısını değiştirmesidir."

Today in the History of Psychology (4th December 1925), Albert Bandura was born. A truly eminent psychologist, the world renowned Stanford University Professor's groundbreaking work included his landmark article "Transmission of Aggression Through Imitation of Aggressive Models" in 1961 and "Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory" published in 1986 and widely considered a modern classic within psychology. Too numerous to mention, Albert Bandura's professional awards include the American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award for Distinguished Lifetime Contribution to Psychological Science, which he received in 2006 along with the following citation.

Professor Bandura is an extraordinarily innovative scholar whose pioneering work in social cognitive theory has served as a rich resource for academics, practitioners, and policy makers alike across disciplinary lines. His illustrative career includes groundbreaking work across a broad range of areas. His seminal research on social modeling expanded our view of human learning and the growing primacy of this mode of learning in this electronic era. His later research on self-regulatory mechanisms laid the theoretical foundation for his theory of human agency. These diverse programs of research blend his theoretical interests with an abiding concern for the use of our knowledge for human enlightenment and betterment.

Bandura developed social learning theory and the concept of self-efficacy – the idea that our belief in our ability to succeed can shape how we think, act and feel.

"People who have a sense of self-efficacy bounce back from failure; they approach things in terms of how to handle them rather than worrying about what can go wrong."

En 1990 #AlbertBandura describió 8 mecanismos con los que suelen justificarse muchas injusticias sociales.
He aquí cómo se usan actualmente contra los médicos españoles y los contraargumentos lógicos que los desmontan.
