**Rotter**
I loved reading Freud and Adler while i was still in high school. I also served in the army and Airfoce after i completed my doctorate. I did not start accomplishing great discoveries in Social Learning theory until i went to the university of ohio. It was in Ohio where i started looking at personality and learning from a different lens.

**My Theory:**
I have combined behaviorism and the study of learning to derived to my Social Learning Theory. I basically believe that an individuals personality has a lot to do with his/her environment. I am a little crazy in believing that your personality has a lot to do with your surrounding environment. One can not take someone history or life experiences and how they respond to others without taking into consideration the environment they come from.

I combine **Behavior + Cognition,** we behave according to what we know. I also measure our behavior depending on a reward system. **SIZE + EXPECTANCY** of reward. For example The bigger the size of the reward and more we expect to get it, this is how most make decisions. One might not play the lottery because the likelihood of winning is low, therefore one does not expect to win, so one does not play it. However if the jackpot is over 20 millions than one might take the risk of playing the lottery, because one might figure we might have a shot of winning for the right price. I believe that as human we are more rationale than we realize. I dont think we behave randomly, we use rules from our environments to decide what to do.

Two rules most live by: 1 the bigger the reward the better and 2 Safer is better.
