Rewording

There must be some way to subsitute facts for assessments. Assessments beg for support. Some facts don't need much AND it is easy to find support. DCDuring 01:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-Tone-

This whole article sounds like a big promo for Bandura and not like a neutral encyclopedic article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.66.250.70 (talk) 22:35, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Behaviorist?

By whom is Bandura considered a behaviorist? Social cognitive theory, which forms the basis of most of Bandura's work, seems much more cognitivist than behaviorist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.194.6.193 (talk) 23:58, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bandura is definetly a cognitive learning theorist, NOT a behaviorist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meldimon (talk • contribs) 13:40, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bandura started as a "social learning" theorist and later modified the theory to be a "social cognitive" theory. So he did start out as a behaviorist, but then moved more toward the cognitive side later. Churn and change (talk) 02:50, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Work classification

Can we just remove the section about citation classification? (Exemplar, Super-classics, etc)

There are two "exemplars" and the rest are others (not even on the classification list). All other classifications aren't even used. Seems like a waste of space. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.42.154.126 (talk) 00:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bandura on Education

I am working to add a section that explains how Bandura's contributions can be applied to learning and education. Below are some of the references I have compiled thus far.

Hello all, I have added my section, "Bandura on education" to the main page. I have also added the field of education to Bandura's list of contributions within the lead section.

Tone concern actionability

User:CatcherStorm inserted a template at the top of the article stating that the article had problems with its tone. However this user did not supply any examples of ostensible problems with tone, and I do not see any clear problems with tone, in as much as Bandura has for many years been widely regarded as the most eminent living psychologist, so it is only natural that he would have received many awards, as listed in the article. I have requested the user (DIFF) to provide us more information on this talk page about their concern with tone. If within a few days neither they nor anyone else offers valid and actionable examples of why the tone might need improvement, then I anticipate removing the template. --Presearch (talk) 19:24, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Death?

There have been many posts claiming Albert Bandura's death on social media on 28/07/2021 (IST) and yet, none of them could cite a reliable source. Will someone please look into this matter? RMPSY (talk) 11:48, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can’t find anything either at the moment. If he has indeed died, there will be an obituary or report in a reliable source soon, so we just need to wait for that. There’s no rush, Wikipedia isn’t a newspaper Neiltonks (talk) 12:00, 28 July 2021 (UTC).[reply]

It was just announced on the division 53 listserv that he passed.

I found this. --Gusama Romero </talk> 19:29, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is a scraper site and not a WP:RS. I am sure that if the news is true there will be something on the Stanford website at some point. Connormah (talk) 21:33, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The quoted names there do not seem to know too well themselves and moreover, the author of the article -bot or man - seems to be unsure of the reliability of the news itself. RMPSY (talk) 20:50, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What about this one? It says: "death was confirmed by our search team from a publication made on Facebook pouring out tributes and condolence messages to the family and friends". It's enough? I have my doubts. --Gusama Romero </talk> 04:12, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this reliable enough?

Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2021 3:43 PM To: psych-all-dept@lists.stanford.edu <psych-all-dept@lists.stanford.edu> Subject: Al Bandura

Dear Stanford Psychology Family,

It is with great sadness that I write to share the news that our dear colleague, Dr. Albert Bandura, died peacefully in his sleep at his home at the age of 95 on July 26, 2021. True to form, he was in his office working on his "Farewell Book" up until the day before his passing.

In accordance with his wishes, no formal Memorial Service is being planned. In lieu of flowers or gifts, donations can be made in memory of Al's life and legacy to the Natural Resources Defense Council (nrdc.org), the Population Media Center (populationmedia.org), or Young Voices for the Planet (youngvoicesfortheplanet.com).

Al's passing is a giant loss for the department and field. Our condolences go out to his family and to all who were close to Al.
