Part 1
Write a short piece summarising and interpreting the information presented in the table.
Part 1 – Summarising and Interpreting a Table
This table summarises the results from Banduras experiment on whether children be aggressive to a Bobo Doll when they have witnessed a model being aggressive. The children were exposed to either a real life model, a human model on film or a non gendered cartoon model. As well as these experimental conditions there was also a control group of children who did not witness any model.
The table shows the average amount of imitative aggression shown in each experimental condition. The highest amount of aggression was shown but the boys after witnessing a Male real life model. The boys, on average, also showed the most aggression throughout …show more content…
Part 2
Prepare a two page report in the form of a handout for a parenting class. Prepare an account of how Bandura’s research on modelling aggression can help parents understand how children imitate aggression behaviours.
Part 2 - Behaviour and Social Learning Report
Most parents understand the importance that behaviour plays in their children’s life. Television, games, music and even food have all been used as reasons for children growing up to commit aggression in their adult life. Throughout the years the media have reported extreme cases of children showing aggressive behaviour and given various reasons for these behaviours. In 1961, a scientist named Albert Bandura performed an experiment called the Bobo Doll Experiment to try and understand these behaviours better. His aim was to show all behaviour was learned through imitation and copying rather than inherited through genes. Below is a description of how the experiment was carried out, with detail of the results obtained and how these results can be useful in the parenting of your
