According to the social learning perspective, how can the government increase the self-efficacy of children from a wide variety of backgrounds to aspire to professional careers?

A) create ad campaigns showing juveniles in detention for breaking laws
B) place adults from a wide variety of backgrounds in high-visibility positions of leadership, so that they can serve as role models
C) create an educational campaign that explains to kids the benefits of staying in school and working hard
D) distribute copies of employment statistics that include projections for job growth for the next 20 years

The social learning perspective emphasizes the importance of modeling and observational learning. By placing adults from diverse backgrounds in high-visibility leadership positions, children from all backgrounds can see them as role models and increase their self-efficacy to aspire to professional careers. Option A is not likely to increase children's self-efficacy but may increase fear and anxiety. Option C is a good approach, but it can be challenging to convince children to stay in school and work hard without showing them the benefits realistically. Option D may be helpful but may be less impactful than seeing real-life mentors in leadership roles.
