Description:

The social cognitive movement was started by Albert Bandura and his early adherents. People learn by watching what others do. Such modeling is central to many moral development theories. Human thought processes are central to understanding personality. While environmental forces play a rôle in human cognitive development., in social cognitivism the individual (and therefore cognition) is just as important in determining moral development. Immordino-Yang further postulates that cognition and affect are due to the effects of mirror neurons. The case is made that such a mirroring structure is the neurophysiological basis of cognition.

This course is designed to explore the tactics of moral disengagement (TMDs) that explain why people deviate from the agents of morality.
