The modeling theory
- The individual perceives a form of behavior described or portrayed by character in media content
- The individual judges these behaviors to be attractive and potentially useful for coping with some personal situation that has risen or might arise.
- The exposed behavior is reproduced by the individuals in a relevant personal situation
- The reproduce behavior proves useful of effective in coping with the situation thereby rewarding the individual
- With further use, the modeled behavior becomes the person’s habitual way of handling that type of situation unless it is no longer effective and rewarding
