Answer 1

The four stages of the social learning process are: observation, imitation, identification, and reinforcement. Observation involves seeing and studying others' behaviors and actions. Imitation entails mirroring the observed behaviors and actions of others in order to learn. Identification involves making a connection between the observed behavior and personal experiences and values. Finally, reinforcement involves positive outcomes or rewards for the adopted behavior or actions, which leads to their continuation or intensification.
