- social learning theory
- we learn via observations and imitation
- proposed by bandura
- the mediational process (ARRM)
- attention
- pay attention to the models behaviour
- reproduction
- need to be physically able to reproduce the behaviour
- motivation
- choose whether or not to reproduce behaviour based on the expected outcome
- retension
- behaviour needs to be retained or remembered
- attention
- vicarious reinforcement
- observing the consequences of a behaviour being modeled
- then choosing whether or not to imitate that behaviour based on if they see others displaying that behaviour get rewarded, or punished
- choose whether or not to reproduce behaviour based on the expected outcome
- then choosing whether or not to imitate that behaviour based on if they see others displaying that behaviour get rewarded, or punished
- observing the consequences of a behaviour being modeled
- BANDURA'S BOBO DOLL
- two seperate groups of children watched a video of an adult interacting with a bobo doll, each group had a video in which the way the doll was interacted with was different
- one video was of an adult playing with the doll, and the other was an adult showing aggressive behaviour towards the doll e.g. hitting, punching
- the children who watched the aggressive video imitated the behaviour they had seen when in the room with the doll
- the children with the playing video imitated the kind behaviour
- one video was of an adult playing with the doll, and the other was an adult showing aggressive behaviour towards the doll e.g. hitting, punching
- lab experiment
- IV: adults behaviour towards doll
- DV: childs level of aggression towards doll
- behaviour also depended on if the children saw adults get rewarded or punished for their actions
- two seperate groups of children watched a video of an adult interacting with a bobo doll, each group had a video in which the way the doll was interacted with was different
- EVALUATION
- positive
- less deterministic
- choice in behaviour and who we learn from
- explains why cultural differences last for generations
- behaviour gets repeatedly modeled and imitated
- more comprehensive and complete explanation to behaviour than classical conditioning
- humans and animals store information and make judgements
- less deterministic
- negative
- participants may have displayed demand characteristics
- children like to please
- too contrived and prompting
- no acknowledgement of biological factors
- boys aggression levels are higher than girls due to testosterone levels
- participants may have displayed demand characteristics
- positive
- we learn via observations and imitation
