Albert Bandura
To the extent that children with similar characteristics achieve comparable performance levels, using the performances of similar peers is likely to yield more accurate self-appraisal than using the accomplishments of dissimilar peers
Albert Bandura

Albert Bandura
If there is any characteristic that is distinctly human, it is the capability for reflective self-consciousness.
