Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory is a landmark work in psychology published in 1986 by Albert Bandura. The book expands Bandura's initial social learning theory into a comprehensive theory of human motivation and action, analyzing the role of cognitive, vicarious, self-regulatory, and self-reflective processes in psychosocial functioning. Bandura first advanced his thesis of reciprocal determinism in Social Foundations of Thought and Action.

The book was originally published in the United States in 1986. Translations have been published in Chinese, Russian, and Spanish.^[1] The book has been reviewed and discussed in several professional social science journals,^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] and widely cited in the professional literatures of psychology,^[8] sociology,^[9] and other fields.^[10]
