No, gender schema theory is not based on social learning theory. Gender schema theory posits that individuals develop mental frameworks (schemas) for understanding gender based on cultural norms and stereotypes. In contrast, social learning theory focuses on how individuals acquire new behaviors through observation and imitation of others in their environment.
