David learned a great deal from his older brother. his brother was a "whiner." this irritated their parents and did not get his brother what he wanted. his brother would pout and was sometimes disrespectful. david was able to use this information to become the "darling" of the family. he never whined, was always respectful, and accepted "no" without pouting. david's observations and applications are compatible with .the behaviorist approach to personalityb. the social cognitive approach to personalityc. the trait approach to personalityd. the psychoanalytic approach to personality

The social cognitive approach to personality.

Explanation:

The Social Cognitive approach to personality was theorized by Albert Bandura.

According to him, the social-cognitive approach to personality is the approach that emphasizes on observational learning. Meaning, that a person will learn and grow what he/she observes and judges. After observing the person will imitate those attributes whether positive or negative. The person will be rewarded/punished then accordingly what he imitates.

In the given case, David observed that his brother is a whiner and that his such behavior is not acceptable by his parents. So, he observes and judges that it is not right. So, his observation and imitations are an example of "the social cognitive approach to personality".

So, the correct option is B.
