Volunteer sample - A newspaper advertisement was used to recruit, 40 men, ages 20 - 50 years, New Haven (US), different backgrounds and occupations, unskilled workers, white collar workers (individuals who work in professional occupations) and professionals, promised $4.50 for taking part

Question 20

miligram results

Answer 20

• 368V is the mean average shock administered by participants, All participants gave at least 300 V, and 65% gave the maximum 450 V shock

Question 21

miligram interview after the pocedure

Answer 21

As part of the interview, participants were asked to estimate how painful they thought the final 450 V shock was, on a scale of 0–14 (‘not at all painful’ to ‘extremely painful’), Open-ended questions were asked, asked them how they were feeling

Question 22

Observers reported increased signs of nervousness in participants as they gave more powerful electric shocks, The participants were also frequently observed to be sweating, shaking and groaning, 14 out of the 40 men showed signs of nervous laughter or smiling, ‘I don’t think this is very humane’; ‘I’m gonna chicken out…; After the procedures ended the participants showed visible signs of relief: wiped their faces, sighed, shook their heads.

Question 23

Question 24

pilavin iv levels

Answer 24

Critical/early: model stood in critical area and waited 70 seconds to help victim
* Critical/late: model stood in critical area and waited 150 seconds to help victim
* Adjacent/early: model stood in adjacent area and waited 70 seconds to help victim
* Adjacent/late: model stood in adjacent area and waited 150 seconds to help victim
* No model condition: the model did not help the victim until after the trial was over and the train had reached the next stop.

Question 25

piliavin results

Answer 25

nearly 80% of victims received spontaneous help (i.e. helped before model intervened or in a no-model condition), in around 60% of cases more than one person helped, in terms of the type of victim participants were more likely to help the victim with the cane than the drunk victim, In terms of race, both black and white cane victims were equally likely to receive help.

Question 31

pavlov example

Answer 31

Before conditioning: unconditioned stimulus (food) → unconditioned response (salivation) Before conditioning: neutral stimulus (bell ringing) → no response During conditioning: unconditioned stimulus (food) + neutral stimulus (bell ringing) → unconditioned response (salivation) After conditioning: conditioned stimulus (bell ringing) → conditioned response (salivation).

Question 32

saavedra aims

Answer 32

Aim 1: To determine the cause of a button phobia.  (to examine the role of classical conditioning in relation to fear and avoidance of a particular stimulus.) Aim 2: To successfully treat the button phobia using exposure-based cognitive-behavioural therapy. (In the context of a specific phobia, researchers wanted to see if using a type of exposure therapy could reduce the disgust and distress associated with buttons.)

Question 33

saavedra aims

Answer 33

Aim 1: To determine the cause of a button phobia.  (to examine the role of classical conditioning in relation to fear and avoidance of a particular stimulus.) Aim 2: To successfully treat the button phobia using exposure-based cognitive-behavioural therapy. (In the context of a specific phobia, researchers wanted to see if using a type of exposure therapy could reduce the disgust and distress associated with buttons.)

Question 34

data collected saavedra and silverman

Answer 34

Questions requiring ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers are asked about symptoms and the total number of ‘yes’ answers determines whether the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) criteria are met.
 Second, questions are asked about whether those symptoms cause clinically significant impairment
 These questions are answered using a ‘feelings thermometer’, a 9-point scale (from 0 to 8) and ‘clinically significant’ is determined if the score is 4 or greater for each question.

Question 35

cognitive reconstructing - saavedra and silverman

Answer 35

Cognitive restructuring aims to identify irrational or negative thoughts and replace them with more realistic or positive thoughts

Question 36

saavedra results

Answer 36

before treatment, the imaginal exposure of ‘hundreds of buttons falling on your body’ was rated as 8 on the distress scale after the exposure it went as low as ‘3’ despite his behaviour towards the fearful stimuli improving, his feelings of disgust, fear and anxiety actually increased as a result of the positive reinforcement therapy. At 6 month and 12 month follow-up sessions, the child-parent anxiety disorders interview schedule was re-administered and the boy reported minimal distress. He also no longer met the diagnostic criteria for a specific phobia of buttons. Further he was wearing school uniform with buttons on a daily basis

Question 37

saavedra conclusion

Answer 37

The button phobia and experience of disgust was successfully treated using exposure-based, cognitive-behavioural therapy

Question 40

Answer 40

72 children 24 in Agressive model - female model 6boys and 6 girls male model 6 boys and 6 girls 24 in non-agressive - female model 6boys and 6 girls male model 6 boys and 6 girls 24 control group no model

Question 41

data coleected bandura

Answer 41

*  the 20 min session was divided into 5s intervals, giving 240 response ‘units’
 * observers data were compared (to assess inter-reliability) and showed correlations in the 0.9 range Comments were made by the children when observing the models: ‘Who is that lady? That’s not the way for a lady to behave. Ladies are supposed to act like ladies . . .’‘You should have seen what that girl did in there. She was just acting like a man. I never saw a girl act like that before. ‘That man is a strong fighter, he punched and punched and he could hit Bobo right down to the floor and if Bobo got up he said, ‘Punch your nose.’

Question 42

bandura results

Answer 42

Children exposed to aggressive models imitated their exact behaviours and were significantly more aggressive, both physically and verbally, than those children in the nonaggressive model or control groups. These children also imitated the model’s non-aggressive verbal responses. This effect was greater for boys than girls although boys were more likely to imitate physical aggression and girls more likely to imitate verbal aggression (though not significantly so). Boys were also more likely to imitate a same-sex model as, to a lesser extent, were girls. the mean for imitative physical aggression for male subjects (25.8) is much higher than that for female subjects (7.2).

Question 43

bandura conclusions

Answer 43

All four hypotheses were supported: There were many more instances of aggression in the aggression group than in the non-aggression group and the control group Boys showed more physical aggression when with a male model; girls show more verbal aggression when with a female model Children in all groups, both male and female, showed aggressive gun play even though this had not been observed in the room 1 (‘exposure’) situation
