Question 31

Case Study: Marcus and David

Marcus and David are both fathers who have different attitudes towards physical fitness.

Marcus loves running and staying active. Marcus's son watches his father receive medals at local road races and hears family members praising Marcus's dedication and fitness. Marcus's son is highly motivated, eagerly participates in school sports, and volunteers for demanding physical activities.

David dislikes physical exercise and avoids it entirely. His son hears David complain bitterly when his doctor warns him about his poor aerobic fitness, and sees David groaning on the couch in pain whenever he is forced to do any physical chores. David's son feels anxious during physical education lessons and avoids joining any sports clubs at school.


Explain one strength and one limitation of using social learning theory to explain the different attitudes of Marcus's and David's sons towards physical exercise.
