Abstract

Social learning theory utilizes precise descriptions of dyadic relationships and other larger systems dynamics that are present in families with adolescents. Similar to other theoretical perspectives that claim more individual psychological origins, however, this theoretical approach is not given extensive coverage in the family theory literature. This chapter discusses how social learning theory focuses attention on the ways in which adolescent’s and parent’s behaviors are both learned and reinforced – both positively or negatively – by family members and other socializing agents. The review of empirical evidence supporting the use of this conceptual approach to families with adolescents reveals a literature that is rather well developed and forms the basis for a number of prevention- and intervention-based efforts that are based on the social learning perspective.
