Question

At this party, a hypnotist is making the kids act like barnyard animals. Pete turns to his aunt and says, "Please! They are just acting this way because they think they are supposed to." Pete’s statement is most consistent with the ______ theory of hypnosis.

Answer 1

Answer:Social cognitive theory

Explanation:Social cognitive theory is a perspective that is based on the fact that mostly we learn by watching

others and responding to our current social environment. So given a situation we will observe other and think about our action and respond appropriately according to the situation and usually imitate what everyone else is doing around where we are . We are likely to imitate the behavior when it is rewarded and imitate those individuals with whom we identify.
