There are a lot of articles about Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory on the internet. Some of them are in Chinese. I have read the below website for my reference.

In lecture 3, I have learnt some basic knowledge and definitions about social psychology. I have also learnt how information is processed by human being, in which the section about memory let me know the characteristics of different type of memory from psychology point of view.
Moreover, the three cognition levels mentioned in lecture 3 let me know how human being interact with each other to build up collective knowledge.
In lecture 4, I have learnt what is Social Inference, Social Cognition and the Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. Also, I have learnt how the information diffuse through social network and different types of Collaborative Knowledge Construction.
Those social psychology studies helps me to understand how collaboration working on the social network.

I would like to talk more about the topic of "Cyber Disinhibition" which mentioned in Lecture 4.
People may noticed that Facebook will never has a "Dislike" button. I have found the below article about it.

Below texts are quote from the above website:
"So very noble sounding. Your friend is “in bed with the flu, feeling blue :(“, and at last you can show your sympathy. Or a vague acquaintance you’ve ended up ‘friending’ on Facebook posts a rather distasteful video and you can now come out, all guns blazing and ‘dislike’ it.But here’s why Zucker and Co. will never approve a dislike button: people simply can’t be trusted to use a dislike button sensibly.Social media is all about building networks, being accepted, being ‘liked’, sharing information…positive things. A dislike button goes against all of that and would only promote bad karma and negativity. Anti-social media, in other words."
I agree with it. If there is a dislike button, people can easily show their hostile standpoint or insulting the blog holder without using any words. You can imagine that if a girl post a photo of her new hair style, and then there are 100 dislike...it will really hurt the girl. So, in order to keep connecting people in a positive fashion, Facebook should not add a "Dislike" button.
