The social cognitive theory explains the development of Jodi’s (the participant) social change identity; social cognitive theory asserts that individuals are influenced by their environment and can influence their environment by actively influencing their learning through cognitive processes (Nickerson, 2022). Jodi discusses how she grew up in poverty and dealt with stereotypes of being African American and a female; she describes how her environment and experiences influenced her identity. However, she also mentions that she did not allow these circumstances or stereotypes to prohibit the development of an identity outside of her circumstance; for example, she mentions that she no longer lives in poverty but has risen to a higher socioeconomic class. (SNHU, 2021). Jodi demonstrates the principles of social cognitive theory as she describes how her environment influenced the shaping of her social change identity; she also uses cognitive processes to make operational decisions in influencing her environment and allowing that to continue to allow her social change identity to evolve.
