Answer:The social-cognitive theory

Explanation:The social-cognitive theory is a theoretical perspective which states that by observing other people we are able to learn to imitate the same behavior in the future. Through the socialization process we learn how to behave in certain roles and as a result we are able to take on certain roles similar to those we have observed and we are able to do the same thing that people do in such roles because we have observed how other behave.
