(RTS - banduras bobo doll study)
A
RTS - SLT - banduras bobo doll study
3
Q
E
A
- bandura found when children observed a model acting aggressively towards a bobo doll
- they were more likely to imitate the aggressive bhv
4
Q
E
A
- whereas 70% of children who observed a non aggressive role model
- showed 0 ratings of aggression
5
Q
L
A
Therefore providing evidence for how observation of bhv can lead to learning to imitate + importance of role models as SLT suggests
6
Q
P

A
Strength - SLT - soft deterministic as it considers humans have an element of free will in their learning
7

- as all human bhv is a result of learning thru observing + imitating a model
8
Q
E
A
- but we have the ability to make decisions about what bhvs to imitate
- and which model we imitate bhv from
9
Q
L
A
- therefore SLT takes a more positive stance unlike the behaviourist approach that take a hard determinism stance as it says all humans have no choice but to learn
10
Q
P

Strength - prac apps
11
Q
E
A
- coz POT that bhv is caused by OBSERVING a model and imitating bhv, has been used by the gov

E
A
- gov has controlled how media portray certain bhvs
- e.g. restricted advertisement of cigs and alcohol
- to reduce this negative bhv
13
