6. What was the DV of the experiment?

  • The amount of aggression demonstrated by the child in a later situation, as measured by two observers scoring the subject's behaviour at 5 second intervals.
  • The aggressiveness of the child before the experiment
  • The observed situation - aggressive/non-aggressive, male/female
  • The subject's aggressive behaviour

7. Whas hypothesis 1 supported? (aggressive model = aggressive acts)

  • No
  • No
  • Yes
  • Partially

8. What happend in the delayed imitation stage?

  • The room contained lots of attractive toys, the child was allowed to play for 2 minutes, until the experimenter said "these are my bet toys, they are for the other children to play with, you may play with the toys in the next room"
  • The modle showed aggressive behaviour and the child imitated it
  • The room contains both aggressive and non aggressive toys. the child is left to play with what they want, they are observed by two observers behind a mirror who take observations every 5 seconds for 20 minutes.
  • The room contained a child's play area and a model play area, the child was given potato stamps and stickers to play with while the model either aggressively played with the Bobo doll or non-aggressively played with the tinker toy

9. What is the correct aim of the study?

  • To investigate social lerning theory by finding out whether children will imitate aggressive behaviour when given the opportunity, even if they saw these behaviours in a different environment and the model is no longer present.
  • To find out whether Piaget's study of conservation was due to the age of the child.
  • To investigate social learning theory through transmission of aggressive role models even when in different environments.
  • To investigate whether Piaget's results in the conservation task were due to methodological issues or limitations of child thought.

10. What is hypothesis 4?

  • Non-aggressive role models would make children act less aggressively than if they had no model
  • Same sex models would be most likely to be imitated
  • Boys would show more aggression than girls
  • Aggressive role models would make children act more aggressively

11. What happened in the modelling stage?

  • The model demonstrates aggressive behaviour
  • The room contained a child play area and a modelling play area, the child was made to play with potato stamps and stickers. The model would either play aggressively with the Bobo doll or non-aggressively with the tinker toy
  • The room is full of aggressive and non-aggressive toys, the child is allowed to play with whatever they like, they are observed by two experimenters behind a mirror, they make observations every 5 seconds for 20 minutes
  • The room contained some attractive toys, the child is allowed to play with them for 2 minutes until the experimenter says "these are my best toys, they are for the other children to play with, you my play with the toys in the next room"

12. What was hypothesis 2?

  • An aggressive role model would make children act aggressively
  • Same sex models would be more likely to be imitated
  • Children that saw the less aggressive role model would act less aggressively than children who did not have a model.
  • Boys would act more aggressively than girls

13. What was hypothesis 3?

  • Non-aggressive role models will mean that children will act less aggressively than the no model control group
  • Boys are likely to act more aggressively than girls
  • Same sex models are more likely to be imitated
  • Aggressive role models will cause aggressive behaviour

14. How old were the children?

  • Between 36 months and 96 months
  • Between 37 months and 96 months
  • Between 37 months and 69 months
  • Between 36 months and 69 months

15. How were the children split into groups?

  • They were split into matched triplets by the experimenter who knew the children and their parents.
  • matched triplets for aggression, matched by an experimenter who knew the children and one of their children, was matched on both verbal and physical aggression
  • They were split into matched pairs for aggression by their parents and an experimenter.
  • They were split into age groups

16. What happened in the aggression arousal stage?

  • The model demonstrates non-aggressive behavior by playing with the tinker toy.
  • The room contains attractive toys, the child is allowed to play for two minutes but is then told by the experimenter "these are my best toys, they are for the other children to play with, you may play with the toys in the next room."
  • This room contained both aggressive and non-aggressive toys, the child was allowed to play with whatever they want while they are observed by two experimenters behind a mirror who record observations every 5 seconds for 20 minutes.
  • The room contained a child play area and a model play area, the child was allowed to play with potato stamps and stickers while the aggressive model played with the Bobo toy and the non-aggressive model played with the tinker toys.

17. What were the three rooms called?

  • Modelling stage, aggression imitation and delayed arousal
  • Modelling stage, aggression arousal and delayed imitation
  • Modelling arousal, aggression stage and delayed imitation
  • Modelling stage, delayed arousal and aggression imitation

18. How many children were in the sample?

  • 33 boys and 33 girls
  • 37 boys and 37 girls
  • 36 boys and 36 girls
  • 35 boys and 35 girls
