- Bandura
- Background - what is social learning theory?
- Children learn social behaviour such as aggression through the process of observation.
- Aims/ Hypotheses
- Aim 1 was to demonstrate that learning of aggression can occur through observation, and Aim 2 is to investigate the effects of gender
- Hypotheses 1 was that children shown aggressive models will show significantly more imitative aggression.
- Aim 1 was to demonstrate that learning of aggression can occur through observation, and Aim 2 is to investigate the effects of gender
- Hypotheses two was that children show non-aggressive models will show significantly fewer aggressive acts than those shown/not shown aggressive models.
- Hypotheses three shows that gender effects aggression: boys show more.
- Hypotheses four shows children will imitate aggression modelled by a same sex adult more than that modelled by an opposite sex adult.
- Sample and Sampling method
- -Opportunity sampling -72 children (36 boys and girls) - Aged 3-5 years -Stanford University, CA, USA
- Research Method
- Lab experiment (observation in Room 3). Matched Pairs
- IV'S: behaviour of model (agg/non-agg), sex of model (male, female), sex of child (boy,girl)
- DV'S: amount of imitative agg, amount of part agg, amount of non-imitative agg
- Lab experiment (observation in Room 3). Matched Pairs
- How were the children matched?
- matched on pre-existing levels of aggression to remove any individual differences. The experimenter and nursery teacher, rated the child's aggression on four, 5 point rating scales.
- ROOM 1: aggressive model assembles tinker set, waits 5v minutes, abuses 5ft Bobo doll by model (kicked). Non aggressive is there for 10 minutes, assembles doll gently. Control group didn't partake.
- ROOM 2: aggressive model is taken to play room, 2 minutes later tells children "they're for other children" to force irritation. Same in non-agg and control.
- ROOM 3: children taken individually into room 3 and observed through a two way mirror every 5 minutes by experimenter for 20 minutes.
- ROOM 2: aggressive model is taken to play room, 2 minutes later tells children "they're for other children" to force irritation. Same in non-agg and control.
- RESULTS: aggressive group showed more aggression (agg male scored 25.4 compared to 1.5 non- agg male)
- girls imitated females more than the boys for verbal aggression (female non-agg 21.3. male non-agg 17.2)
- Conclusions
- children will imitate aggression from adult models
- children can learn behaviour through observation and imitation
- more likely to learn verbal aggresion from sam sex model
