INTERESTING FACTS Chance

Chance encounter with Psychology Bandura's decision to pursue psychology as a career choice happened by chance. Due to his

humble origins, he had to travel early with other students in a car pool despite that his classes

began much later. Bandura would often try to find something to keep him occupied till his

classes started. Pajares (2004) quotes in his biographical sketch, "One morning, I was wasting

time in the library. Someone had forgotten to return a course catalog and I thumbed through it

attempting to find a filler course to occupy the early time slot. I noticed a course in

psychology that would serve as excellent filler. It sparked my interest and I found my career."

Thus, Bandura who originally had though of taking up biological sciences to major in took

the psychology class, became so fascinated with the discipline that he decided to concentrate

on it as a career option.

One of the most interesting studies that Albert Bandura carried out was on the inflated “Bobo

dolls”. Till 1950’s there was a popular belief that learning was an outcome of reinforcement.

Through these experiments Bandura and his colleagues explained that, “social modeling” is

rather a more effective way of learning.
