The group who saw the adult being aggressive to the doll
3 of 68
Why does Bandura's bobo doll study support SLT?

It shows children learning aggression through vicarious reinforcement and role models

They became verbally aggressive towards the prisoners, and subjected them to arbitrary demands
19 of 68
How does Zimbardo's prison study support the power of the situation and dehumanizing labels?
It shows that when put in a stressful situation, e.g the mock prison, the students playing the guards became aggressive
20 of 68
What was the mental state of the participants for Zimbardo's prison study before the study occurred?
They were all mentally healthy individuals
21 of 68
In Bandura's study supporting the power of the situation and dehumanizing labels, how did participants in the first condition hear the other students referred to?
As animals
22 of 68
In Bandura's study supporting the power of the situation and dehumanizing labels, how did participants in the second condition hear the other students referred to?
As nice
23 of 68
What did the students in Bandura's power of the situation and dehumanizing labels study have to do after they had heard the other students referred to in a particular way?
Deliver electric shocks
24 of 68
How does Bandura's electric shock study support the power of the situation and dehumanizing labels?
It shows that higher levels of aggression, demonstrated through the power of the electric shock, were if rom those who had heard a negative labeling

4
29 of 68
