According to Bandura (1986), the modeled events may be either observed in the direct surroundings of an individual or in the mass media, without any basic difference in the resulting effects. Observation in the mass media is termed “symbolic modeling.” Although Bandura (1986) doesn’t define the term “media”, it can be argued that he acts on the assumption of mass media, as he defines symbolic models by their transmission to a large number of recipients: “it can transmit simultaneously knowledge of wide applicability to vast numbers of people through the medium of symbolic models” (Bandura, 1986, p. 47).
