Explain how how rights were denied to African Americans through disenfranchisement and the Plessy v. Ferguson case in the New South Era.

The correct answer is social-cognitive

A basic principle of social cognitive theory is that a person's functioning is based on three pathways: reciprocal personal interaction, behavioral and environmental factors and what he believes about himself and experiences about others.

Cognitive social theory postulates that an individual can plan, direct and self-regulate his own learning and behavioral outcomes. She says that people learn by watching others, but they don't necessarily evidence learning until they are personally motivated to do so.
