Module Four Video Reflection Paul LeBlanc, President of Southern New Hampshire University, reflected on his sense of social responsibility and the current and future challenges and imminent threats to social equity (SNHU, 2021). President LeBlanc’s social responsibility derives from personal and social factors that have shaped his social change identity, such as his parents, his religious connections, and his status as a beneficiary to other’s sense of social responsibility (SNHU, 2021). Through understanding his development of social responsibility and leadership style, social learning theory can be applied to aid in understanding President LeBlanc’s social change identity. According to Albert Bandura’s social learning theory, patterns of behavior are learned and acquired through lived experiences and through observing the behaviors and actions of others (Bandura, 1971). Bandura substantiated that an individual’s ability to learn through observation allows them to study and incorporate large portions of behavior without building up patterns of trial and error (Bandura, 1971). Furthermore, Bandura suggested that emotional responses can be developed by observing or witnessing the affective reactions of others who are experiencing pain or pleasure (Bandura, 1971). President LeBlanc regards his social responsibility to be a product of learned behavior from his parents and his sense of complicity derived from his Catholic upbringing. President LeBlanc observed his parent's sense of responsibility to his community displayed through their unending kindness for others who were less fortunate or in need (SNHU, 2021). He also suggested his social change identity is connected to his Catholic upbringing to induce complicity, meaning the state of involvement in negative behaviors directly associated with the welfare of others (SNHU, 2021). These aspects of his social change identity have also contributed to his leadership style and agenda, which further correlates to Bandura’s Social Learning Theory. Bandura substantiated that an individual’s cognitive capacity plays a significant factor in how 2

LeBlanc substantiates that his social change identity, status as a beneficiary to other’s social responsibility, and the observations and learned behaviors that have merited his ideology of social responsibility have symbolically and physically transpired into his identification of leadership being instilled on the individual rather than group level (SNHU, 2021). Throughout my time at Southern New Hampshire University, I have learned valuable psychological concepts and applied various theories to my understanding of social change identity. SNHU’s psychology program has taught me the many variations of behavior and how these behaviors - normal, abnormal, or deviant - play a significant role in society's proximity to criminal justice. As an aspiring forensic psychologist, SNHU has allowed me to substantiate that an individual’s learned behaviors and risk for criminality have a genetic predisposition; however, developmental implications, environmental stimulants, and interpersonal relationships promote criminality based on attachments in childhood, exposure to criminal behavior in childhood and adolescence, and the presence of abnormal childhood or mental health disorders implicate individual risk and probability to engage in criminality. In application of this knowledge, I can integrate these concepts and theoretical frameworks within the criminal justice system and society to impact structural racism and social stigmas associated with mental illness. By integrating my knowledge into practice, I can influence positive social change in one case, one individual at a time. 3
