- Aim
- Investigate the effect of children's exposure to an aggressive model
- Demonstrate that if the children were witness to an aggressive model they would imitate this behaviour at a given opportunity
- Children exposed to an aggressive model will show more aggressive behaviour
- Children exposed to a non aggressive model will show less aggressive behaviour
- Children will imitate same sex models more than opposite sex models
- Boys will imitate aggressive behaviour more than girls
- Procedure
- Room 1
- Brought to room by experimenter
- Activities of high interest set out in corner room, small table, chair, potato prints, picture stickers
- Adult model escorted to opposite corner of room with small chair, tinker toy set, mallet, 5ft bobo doll
- Non aggressive condition
- model ignored bobo doll and assembled tinker toy in quiet gentel manner
- Aggressive condition
- Model began by assembling tinker toy but then turned to bobo and was aggressive in a stylized and distinctive way.
- Room 2
- Mild aggression arousal
- Room had train, plane, fire engine, doll with cot and clothes
- The child was told that it could play with any of the toys
- When the experimenter returned the child was told "these were the experimenters very best toys and had decided to reserve them for the other children"
- Room 3
- Child was told it could play with any of the toys (variety of aggressive and non aggressive)
- Kept in room for 20 mins
- Observations through one way mirror every 5 seconds (240)
- Room 1
- Method
- Lab experiment
- Matched pairs design
- Age, sex, pre exsisting levels of aggression
- Conclusion
- Support social learning theory, suggesting social behaviour such as aggression is learnt through observation
- Results
- Children in AG made more AR(165) than children in NAC(62)
- Boys made more AC(158) than girls(69)
- Boys in AC made more AR if the model was male than if the model was female
- Girls in AC showed more physical aggression if the model was
