Bandura (72) Flashcards
ETHICAL GUIDLINEs
Confidentiality:
- any data should not be identifiable as ppt single response
- all we know is children from Stanford nursery + gender/age
PROTECTION: Physical
- ppt should leave study in same physical state as entered
- e.g children could’ve injured themselves when playing/hitting w/ bobo doll
PROTECTION: Psychiological
- ppt should leave study in same physical state as entered
- e.g children could’ve left study thinking aggression was good so way of thinking changed
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW”:
- ppt should be able to leave study at any point
- e.g in experimental room, experimenter remained w/ child so they couldn’t room so was broken
Decsribe how children rated on aggressive behaviour in nursery prior to study + disadvantage
- Rated on 4 DIFFERENT scales FOR aggression
All 5 point scales - by experimenter + nursery school teacher
- rated independtly
- a composite score was given to all children
- SCALES = physical aggression/verbal aggression towards inimate objects
- subjective measure by teacher —> incorrect bias abt how aggressive child is = invalid measure
Outline how 2 assumption of learning approach
- conditioning helps explain behaviour IF we reward someone their likely to want to repeat that behaviour
- SLT helps explain behavior so Bandora found that children will observe/imitate aggressive model
How to replicate experimental condition from when child arrives at room until child observes assembling toys
- bring each child individually
- invite model to join in game w child
- take child to play area in corner of room
- demonstrate how child can make pics from potato prints
- initially get experimenter to stay in room so child cannot leave
- make sure corner contain table, chair,mallet , tinker toys and BOBO doll
2 features of sample
- 72 ppt
- 36 male + 36 female
- all selected from Nursery School of stanford university
- ages ranged from 37 months to 69 months
outline one real world application for adults
- as study showed aggression can be observed + imitated , so TV networks may wish to censor conetnt of TV programmes
outline 2 quantitative results abt “imitative aggression”
- boys who witnessed an aggressive male model had highest imitative aggression score of 25.8
-girls scored more highly on verbal aggression than boys
describe psych being investiagted
- ppl pay attention to observe behaviour of role model
- they will retain info in memory + reprpduce baheviour
- if witnessed model gain reward via vicarious reinfirceemnt more likely to repeat
define delayed imitation
\ when someones witnesses behavior at one time point bout only reproduces behavior at diff time point
condition 1,2,3 sample
1= an aggressive model
2= a non-aggressive model
3= no model
What were the independent variables in this study?
the behaviour of the model
sex of the model
sex of the child
What was in stage 1, the first room?
Some toys, a mallet and bobo doll
What happened with the non-aggressive model?
What happened with the aggressive condition?
- ignored the bobo doll and played with toys
- the model acted aggressively with the bobo doll (sitting on it and hitting its head with a mallet)
How was the children’s behaviour observed?
- Imitative, partly imitative + non-imitative aggressive
- recorded for 20 minutes, at 5 second intervals
What happened in stage 3?
- child was taken to another room with aggressive toys (bobo doll, mallet and gun) and non aggressive toys (dolls, plastic animals and crayons)
