    Editorial: Past, present and future contributions from the social cognitive theory (Albert Bandura)
    (2023) Fuente-Arias, J. (Jesús) de la; Kauffman, D. (Douglas); Boruchovitch, E. (Evely)
    Cognitive Social Learning theory (Bandura, 1986) tries to understand how the acquisition of knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and ways of thinking of the person with respect to the social environment occurs. The premise underlying this theory is that learning is a cognitive process that cannot be separated from the context in which it occurs, be it family, school or of any other nature. Albert Bandura was a giant in the field, with work that influenced social, cognitive, developmental, educational, and clinical psychology. His death on July 21, 2021 left a void in the filed of psychology. He will definitely be greatly missed. This Research Topic has been developed to pay tribute to him, from the aforementioned disciplines.

    Advances on self-regulation models: A new research agenda through the SR vs ER behavior theory in different psychology contexts
    (2022) Fuente-Arias, J. (Jesús) de la; Martínez-Vicente, J.M. (José Manuel); Karagiannopoulou, A. (Angélica); Sander, P. (Paul); Kauffman, D. (Douglas); Fadda, S. (Salvatore); Boruchovitch, E. (Evely); Santos, F. (Flavia)
    The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Bandura¿s Social Cognitive Theory (1986) influenced the development of several complementary models of the construct of Self-Regulation. Building on the foundation of Self-Determination Theory, SDT (2000), and Zimmerman¿s Self-Regulation Theory, SR (2001), with their assumptions, contributions, goddesses, and limitations, we come to the Self- vs. External Regulatory Theory, SR-ER (2021). Finally, we integrate recent evidence demonstrating the explanatory adequacy of the SR vs. ER model for different psychological constructions in different settings related to education, health, clinical practice and social work. Complementary, a new theoretical and empirical research agenda is presented, to continue testing the adequacy of SR vs. ER assumptions, and to better understand the behavioral variability of the different constructs studied.
