Intro to Public Health
Observational learning is a process in which individuals acquire new behaviors or information by watching others perform those behaviors. This form of learning emphasizes the role of social influences, modeling, and imitation, highlighting how people can learn from the experiences of others rather than through direct personal experience. It plays a crucial role in understanding health behaviors as it influences individuals' decisions regarding health practices based on the actions and outcomes they observe in others.
