The unprecedented growth of social network users in the last decade has resulted significant increases availability individual-specific information such as holiday pictures, mobile check-ins at restaurants, and on everyday purchases. Consumers shopping through channels are increasingly using this making their purchase decisions. We find that ties impact magnitude observational learning. In case...

This paper considers John Dewey’s dual reformist-preservationist agenda for education in the context of current debates about the role of experience in management learning. The paper argues for preserving experience-based approaches to management learning by revising the concept of experience to more clearly account for the relationship between personal and social (i.e. , tacit/explicit) knowle...

This paper considers professional development (PD) from the perspective of Social Learning Theory (SLT). While a single component of SLT, self-efficacy, is frequently referred to in teacher education research, the full theory has not been used in this field previously. In this paper SLT is evaluated in terms of the extent to which it is able to describe and explain the phenomena of professional...

This was the beginning of what has come to be known as Social Learning Theory (SLT), which emphasizes the social nature of learning. And because it assumes that learning is talking place even when there is no observable response, it brought attention back to mental processes: to people’s thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, expectations, mindsets, etc, which collectively involve what psyc...

Original scientific paper According to cognitive theory of social learning and information fusion between online and offline of consumer network, this paper constructs two-stage social learning (TSSL) model and online to offline or offline to online (O2O) learning model to explore the diffusion law under the condition of multilevel cascade network. Innovative information diffusion model based o...

Social media has been postulated as a convenient online resource tool for learning. To understand the usefulness of social media, the present study focused on “Guitar Class of Uncle Ma”, one of YouTube's most popular guitar learning channels in Taiwan, as a self-directed learning tool. Drawing upon a cognitive-affective theory of learning with media (CATLM), learners have the ability to control...

Cultural evolutionary theory, like other evolutionary theories, links individual-level and population or society-level phenomena. It provides numerous bridges between social psychology and other disciplines and sub-disciplines. The theory uses mathematical models to understand the population-level consequences of the individual-level processes of individual and social learning. The theory has b...
