Outline what is meant by 'identification' within the Social Learning Theory. Give an example.

An individual may identify with those who they see as role models. For example, a young child may idealise the actions and imitate the actions and behaviour of somebody that they identify with and look up to. This could be a parent or even a celebrity. Typically, role models are associated with the observer and can be seen to have high status and are attractive.
