- social learning theory
- mediational processes/ factors
- vicarious reinforcement: looking at the reaction our role model gets
- motivation: no motivation= no imitating
- identification= form of influence where an individual adopts a behaviour because they want to be associated with their role model
- direct reinforcement= arrangements in which the reinforcer is obtained through the competition of the task
- self-efficacy: our abilities (we wont imitate something we know we're unable to do)
- positively reinforced= more likely to imitate, punished= less likely to imitate
- learning through observing others and imitating behaviors that are rewarded
- supported by research/ take into account cognitive factors/ lots of useful application/ example of reciprocal determinism
- strengths
- supported by research/ take into account cognitive factors/ lots of useful application/ example of reciprocal determinism
- limitations
- little focus on biological factors/ lacks ecological validity
- BANDURA ET AL: THE BOBO DOLL
- procedures: a laboratory experiment was used
- those in the 'agressive' condition saw an adult attack a 'bobo doll', all children were then taken into a room with nice toys which they weren't allowed to play with (to frustrate them)- see reaction
- aim: to see if children learn aggression from adult role models
- conclusions: supports SLT, gender differences might be due to expectations the children had (expected to behave)
- findings: 'aggressive' conditions= acted aggressively, boys were more likely to imitate the same sex role model, boys were more aggressive than girls
- procedures: a laboratory experiment was used
- evaluation/ discussion
- research suuports identification
- A03: importance of identification in social learning, media attempts to change health related behaviours
- AO3: a problem of complexity, process of social learning advocated of this approach disregard other potential influences on behaviour
- SLT has useful applications: usefully applied to increase our understanding of human behavior (criminal behavior)
- problem of establishing causality: deviant peers= adapting the same values and behaviours
- mediational processes/ factors
- IV: agressive or non- agressive role model
- DV: childs agression
- control: participants were assessed before hand for natural levels of aggression and were matched to similar children
