Question 29

Julian (aged 16) is a very talented and popular skateboarder who helps coach younger children at a local skatepark. Rory (aged 8) and his friend Sam (aged 8) both attend Julian's sessions. Sam is often hesitant to try new tricks, so Julian frequently teases Sam loudly, calling him a 'baby' until Sam reluctantly attempts the trick. Rory is normally very polite and quiet during the skate sessions. However, at primary school, Rory's teacher has recently noted that Rory has started loudly calling his classmates 'wimps' and 'babies' when they hesitate to join his games on the climbing frame.

Use your knowledge of social learning theory to explain Rory's behaviour.
