Social learning and psychodynamic

Explanation:

The psychodynamic perspective provides an explanation from the a sex and death instinct in the unconscious mind of humans. Social learning on the other hand emphasizes on social situations. From the example, the aspect of trying to recognizing herself as a female and trying to become a skilled one demonstrates psychodynamic approach. Emulating her mother and older sister is an act of social learning.
