I’ve always found Bandura’s Bobo doll study one of the more interesting studies in psychology. The study measures aggression through observational learning. I agreed with Bandura’s hypothesis that the kids would imitate the behaviors of the adult models. It turns out that this hypothesis was supported by the results of the experiment. I believe that behaviors are learned a lot from modeling. There could be a genetic predisposition to act a specific way. For example, some people could act more aggressive

In an observational study conducted by Aznar and Tenenbaum, both mothers and fathers used more emotion words with their four-year old daughters than sons (2010). Even today, my parents use more emotion words when speaking to my sisters and me. However, I feel like my parents are more sensitive towards my seventeen-year-old sister and me than my fifteen-year-old sister. My seventeen-year-old sister and I have had more heart-to-heart conversations with my mother and even one time our father, than my

influences the likelihood of a behaviour being performed. However, this study lacks validity because the children may have been aware of what was expected of them, leading to them displaying demand characteristics when they were allowed to play with the doll. The study also focuses on aggression toward a doll rather than real-life aggression, meaning the same results may not apply to other settings. However, a subsequent study using a live clown instead of a doll found similarly high levels of imitation

(Belsey, 2004). In 2006, the National Crime Prevention Council worked with Harris Interactive Inc., to create a study on cyberbullying. The study found that 43% of the 824 middle school and high school-aged students surveyed in the United States had been cyberbullied in the past year (cited in Moessner, 2007). The Pew Internet and American Life Project on cyberbullying conducted a similar study in 2006 which found that one out of three teens have experienced online harassment (cited in Lenhart, 2007)

Learning Theory (SLT) is defined as learning behaviour that is controlled by environmental influences rather than innate or internal forces. The behaviour shown by individuals during this theory of aggression is often referred to as modelling or observational learning; this is a form of vicarious experience. It is believed that humans are not born as aggressive individuals so the acts of aggression can only be acquired through direct experience and the observation of others. The behaviourists’ explanation

article is Derek Lyons, a graduate student at Yale University, was doing an observation over how children learn compared to chimpanzees. He observed a little girl by named Charlotte to help him with his studies. I plan to show the similarities between the observation of Charlotte, the Bobo doll study and the social learning theory. From the article, I can conclude that the social learning theory when dealing with children is very true because everything that Charlotte imitated everything that the model

Describe and evaluate social explanations for aggression (16 + 8 marks) There are a number of different theories which offer explanations for aggression. These include social psychological explanations and biological explanations. Some of the social explanations are social learning theory and deindividuation. Social learning theory was developed by Albert Bandura and is based on the behaviourist approach that our aggressive behaviour is learnt. He proposed that it is similar to operant conditioning
