A local youth project supports Leila, aged 14. During the project, she observes how two people behave.
| Person | Age and background | Contact with Leila | Status among young people at the project | Response to finding lost property |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ayesha | Aged 16; grew up in Leila's neighbourhood and has similar family circumstances | Encourages Leila and works with her three afternoons each week | Admired by the younger members | Hands it to a member of staff |
| Ms Carter | Aged 41; lives in another area and has a different background | Speaks briefly to Leila during a visit every two months | Not well known by the younger members | Leaves it where it was found |
Using social learning theory, explain whose response Leila is more likely to copy if she finds a lost wallet.
