Moral development is a kind of sociopersonality development that has as its aim the disposition to virtue. The developmental grounding of moral personality is in the first months of life and includes neurobiological foundations, the mutual responsive orientation, and dialogic socialization of the moral self. The authors argue that moral self-identity offers integrative possibilities for understanding the life span development of moral personality and for understanding the dispositional and motivational bases of moral behavior, and that social cognitive theory has resources for understanding how the moral self and conscience of infancy is canalized into individual and cultural differences in the schedule and priority of character strengths that are the targets of socialization. Moral self-identity and character are placed in the historical context of the moral stage theory paradigm.

This analysis was based on the latest research in 2014 which concern of researcher about education system number 20th 2003  “... an intelligence and a capabilities that they need  for people and a nation”. Education not only as transfer of knowledge but an experience, readiness and such a faith to a self capabilities and self identity of a student in their social activities like a career readiness. A faith of capabilities is known as self efficacy and self identity is a self concept. These variable was tested at research in 2015 and has been found that these variable has a contribution to career readiness. Analysis is continued to discuss and note as a ground point in social activities in psychology perspective. It’s found a self concept and self efficacy together have a contribution to a career readiness with a significant correlation, although in coefficient t-tes not have a significant. Then, there was a significant effects of all variables to career readiness. In a social cognitive theory perspective, human can be learn only through observation and interaction that shape a self concept and self efficacy. This found will be analyze and describe as a self concept and self efficacy as s ground point in social activities. So this analysis will discuss further the implication to individual social activities like a career readiness with using psychology perspective: Social Cognitive Theory.

Social cognitive theory is a theory of human behavior that emphasizes learning from the social environment. This chapter focuses on Bandura’s social cognitive theory, which postulates reciprocal interactions among personal, behavioral, and social/environmental factors. Persons use various vicarious, symbolic, and self-regulatory processes as they strive to develop a sense of agency in their lives. Key motivational processes are goals and self-evaluations of progress, outcome expectations, values, social comparisons, and self-efficacy. People set goals and evaluate their goal progress. The perception of progress sustains self-efficacy and motivation. Individuals act in accordance with their values and strive for outcomes they desire. Social comparisons with others provide further information on their learning and goal attainment. Self-efficacy is a critical influence on motivation and affects task choices, effort, persistence, and achievement. Recommendations are made for future research.

Co-design empowers people, giving them a voice in social marketing program design; however, approaches have mostly excluded expert knowledge. An abductive approach to co-design allows for inclusion of expert knowledge, providing theoretical guidance while simultaneously investigating user views and ideas extending understanding beyond known effective approaches. We use the seven-step co-design framework and outline how an abductive inference can be applied to co-design. Social cognitive theory constructs were integrated into the seven-step co-design process. The abductive approach to co-design was tested in two co-design sessions involving 40 participants. Findings demonstrate that theory can be successfully integrated into the seven-step co-design process through utilization of theory-mapped activity cards. This article provides guidance on how theory can be incorporated into ideation and insight generation. Limitations and future research recommendations are provided.
