    The document summarizes a study that investigated whether children would learn and display aggressive behaviors after observing aggressive same-sex models. The study found that children who observed aggressive same-sex models displayed more aggression than those who observed non-aggressive models or no model, supporting social learning theory that observed behaviors can be learned through attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. The study also found boys were more likely than girls to copy physical aggression.

    Assumptions

    ■ conditioning helps to explain changes in behaviour


    ■ social learning helps to explain changes in behaviour.

    SLIDESMANIA
    Learning
    • learning results in the acquisition of new responses
    (the relatively permanent change)
    • learning may occur without new behaviours necessarily
    being demonstrated (the behavioural potential)
    • the environment governs learning (by providing
    experiences).

    Core study 1
    Bandura et al. (aggression)

    ❖ Background : Observational learning /


    modelling/ Social learning - different rewards
    & punishments.
    ❖ Gender specific behaviors - related to
    observational learning
    SLIDESMANIA
    Social learning
    - Stages
    ➢ Attention
    ➢ Retention
    ➢ Reproduction
    ➢ Motivation
    SLIDESMANIA
    Aim
    ➔ investigate whether a child would learn aggression by
    observing a model and would reproduce this behaviour in
    the absence of the model, and whether the sex of the role
    model was important
    SLIDESMANIA
    Hypothesis
    1.Observed aggressive behaviour will be
    imitated, 3. • Children are more likely to
    so children seeing aggressive models will be copy a same-sex model.
    more
    aggressive than those seeing a non-
    aggressive model or
    no model.
    2. Observed non-aggressive
    behaviour will be imitated,
    so children seeing non-aggressive 4. Boys will be more likely to copy
    models will be less aggression than girls
    aggressive than those seeing no
    model

    Sample -
    72 children
    3-6 years
    SLIDESMANIA
    Design
    ● lab experiment
    ● matched pairs design
    ● IV 1 - model type: whether the child saw an aggressive
    model,
    non-aggressive model or no model
    ● IV 2 - model gender: same gender as child or different
    gender
    ● IV 3 - learner gender: whether the child was a boy or a
    girl.
    ● DV - learning displayed by child
    SLIDESMANIA

    ● controlled observation
    Procedure
    ➔ Aggressive model - 12 boys & 12 girls (6 boys - male model & 6 girls -
    - female model (same sex model)
    ➔ Non- aggressive model - 12 boys & 12 girls (6 boys - male model & 6
    girls -female model) (same sex model)
    ➔ Control group
    ➔ Stage 1 : Modelling the behavior
    ➔ Stage 2 : Aggression arousal
    ➔ Stage 3 : Testing for delayed limitation

    Results
    SLIDESMANIA
    Conclusions
    ❖ Observed aggressive behaviours are imitated
    ❖ Observed non-aggressive behaviours are
    imitated
    ❖ Children are more likely to copy a same-sex
    model
    ❖ Boys are more likely to copy physical
    aggression than girls
