Abstract
This study has conducted to investigate pro-environmental behavior and the theory's relevance to social contexts from the standpoint of social cognition theory. Social cognitive theory holds that a person's behavior, environment, and thinking all play equal roles in shaping their development. The problem is that social cognitive theory holds that a person's behavior, environment, and thinking all play equal roles in shaping their development but social context lacked developing person’s behavior.The findings showed that the perspective of social-cognitive theory, ecologically conscious behavior. The triadic reciprocity model is used by social cognitive theory to explain human behavior. A two-way relationship exists between the three components of this triadic model of causation: overt action, external environmental consequences, and cognitive and other personal characteristics like emotional moods and physical qualities.
