A questionnaire to complete

19
Q

Give 2 findings from chaney’s study

A

Participants who had used inhaler the day before, standard (59%) funhaler (81%)

Parents who were ALWAYS successfully medicating child, standard (10%) funhaler (73%)

20
Q

What can you conclude about Chaney’s study?

A

Improved adherence and better attitudes suggest funhaler may be useful for management of young asthmatics

Parents more likely to administer medication

21
Q

What research method was used in Chaney’s study?

A

Field

22
Q

What research design was used in Chaney’s study?

A

Repeated measures

23
Q

What was the independent variable in Chaney’s study?

A

The way in which they get their medication e.g funhaler/standard

24
Q

What were the dependent variables in Chaney’s study?

A

Adherence
Ease of use
How happy to take it

25
Q

What was the aim of Bandura’s study?

A

To demonstrate that if children were witness to an aggressive act displayed by an adult they would imitate this aggressive behaviour when given the opportunity

26
Q

What did they do before Bandura’s study?

A

Children were observed on their natural levels of aggression by their nursery teacher and an experimenter using 5 point rating scales

27
Q

Why did they have to do this before Bandura’s study?

A

To check their natural levels of aggression and to balance out the aggression in each sub condition

28
Q

Describe the participants in Bandura’s study

A

72 (36 boys 36 girls)

Age range= 3-5

From Stanford University nursery school

No aggression

32
Q

What were the 3 conditions in Bandura’s study?

A

Aggressive
Non-aggressive
Control
24 children in each

33
Q

How did they divide the 24 children in the aggressive and non-aggressive conditions?

A

6 boys with same sex role model

6 boys with opposite sex role model and same with girls

Q

What happened in stage 1 of bandura’s study?

A

Each child taken individually to a room and model was invited to join the game.

39
Q

How did they observe the children?

Q

Give 2 findings from Bandura’s study

A

Boys imitated more physically aggressive acts than girls but their was little difference in verbal aggression

Children who observed the aggressive models made far more imitative aggressive responses than those in the other 2 conditions

41
Q

What can you conclude from Bandura’s study?

A

Children’s behaviour can be affected by external influences such as role models

Evidence for SLT

42
Q

A

‘Sock him in the nose!’

43
Q

Give 2 similarities between bandura and chaney

Q

Give 2 differences between Bandura and Chaney
