Bandura (1961) Flashcards
give 3 aims of Bandura
1) to see if aggression is learnt through observation
2) whether you imitate through same sex models
3) are boys more aggressive
how many boys and girls were in the sample
36 boys and 36 girls
how old were the children in the sample
37-69 months old
where were the sample from
Standford University nursery
what was included on the 5 point scale (3 examples)
1) physical aggression
2) verbal aggression
3) aggression towards objects
what was stage 1 of the experiment
the children played with toys (e.g. tinker toys)
in the non-aggressive the model ignored the bobo model
in the aggressive the model started to be aggressive to the bobo doll
what was stage 2 of the experiment
the children were took to another room and told to not play with the new toys as they were for other children
what happened in stage 3
the children were taken into the playroom with other toys (e.g. crayons) and a bobo doll, they were observed through an observational window by researchers
give an example of data that shows that boys are more aggressive
non-aggressive boys with a mallet-18.7
non-aggressive girls with a mallet- 0.5
give an example of data that shows the difference between role models shown
non-aggressive girls with a mallet-0.5
aggressive girls with a mallet- 17.2
give a reliability point
(high)standardised procedure
observations were made every 5 seconds
controls extraneous variables
give a generalisability point
low (ethnocentric)
children from Stanford University nursery
cannot be applied to global scale
give an application point
high application
9pm watershed
(children are easily influenced by role models)
supports social learning theory
give a validity point
high validity
double blind procedure
free from bias
give an ethics point
low ethics
teaching children aggressive behaviour
goes against BPS to minimise unhelpful behaviour
