Books by Albert Bandura

Dr. Bandura provides a definitive exposition of the psychosocial mechanism by which people selectively disengage their moral self-sanctions from their harmful conduct. dehumanizing those they maltreat, and blaming them for bringing the suffering on themselves.Dr. Bandura's theory of moral disengagement is uniquely broad in scope.

Presenting a theory of human motivation from a social-cognitive perspective, this book addresses the roles played by cognitive, vicarious, self-regulatory, and self-reflective processes in psychosocial functioning. It emphasizes reciprocal causation through the interplay of cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors.
