Observational study

Bandura in 1961 at Stanford University. We will touch on the history and theory of the Bobo doll experiment. We will discuss how human behavior and the mental process was used, and how nature versus nurture influences this study. We will discuss the meaning of social observational learning and if and how it was used during this research experiment. This research was unethical, not only in my opinion, but based off the American Psychological Association Code of Ethic, we will discuss more of the ethical

The Tourniquet The use of a tourniquet is an effective means of arresting life-threatening external hemorrhage from a limb injury. The use of tourniquets has been documented in the annals of historical medicine as far back as 6th century BC. “The Hippocratic body of work mentions in passing tight bandaging and distal limb gangrene without noting hemorrhage control, probably because hemorrhage and death, although linked empirically, were not linked philosophically by the ancient Greeks. (Kragh, Swan

weighted bottom so if it were to get hit it would go down and come right back up to upright position. The purpose of this experiment was to “study children behavior after they observed the model get rewarded, punished or experience no consequence for beating up the doll.” The experiment showed that people learn by being rewarded but punished to through observational learning.(Britannica, 2014) We will be first looking at the method and result of the initial experiment conducted in 1961. The people who

2 hours can result in permanent nerve injury, muscle injury (including contractures, rhabdomyolysis, and compartment syndrome), vascular injury and skin necrosis. Muscle damage is nearly complete by 6 hours, with possible required amputation. Numerous studies have been performed to determine the maximum duration of tourniquet use before complications. The general conclusion is that a tourniquet can be left in place for 2 hours with little risk of permanent ischemic injury (Lee, C., & Porter, K. M. 2007)

The term “ape” has been associated with imitation based on the behavioral research carried out on apes that has shown that apes are good imitators. Many primatologists who are against animal culture have argued that the learning of behaviors by apes is not a form of social transmission but rather simple imitation. De Waal seems to refute the scientific meaning of imitation which is defined by goals, rewards and punishments. I think de Waal makes a compelling argument for the complexity of imitations

Ecological validity is the level to which a study imitates circumstances which naturally occur or are equivalent to everyday conditions (Custance, 2010). This is important in psychological research so that findings can be explained or reproduced in other settings, such as the real world. However, certain experiments may have low levels of ecological validity but still provide influential findings. To discuss this Bandura et al. (1963 cited Oates, 2010) experiment will be evaluated displaying that

The aim of this study is to examine whether family conflicts affect child social development. According to one of the famous studies done by Albert Bandura, it shows that when adult acts violently towards the Bobo doll, the child will imitate the behavior according to what he observed, this is known as observational learning. (Bandura, 1977). This theory can apply on parent-child relationship. Family conflicts will affect the child’s psychological and physical wellbeing. Five

Robert Sears, a renowned American psychologist, was born to Jesse Brundage Sears, a professor at Stanford University, and Stella Louise Sears in Palo Alto, California on August 31st, 1908. He was married on June 25, 1932 to Pauline Kirkpatrick Snedden, who co-authored a book with him and with whom he shared an award for achievement in psychology late in their lives. Sears received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Stanford in 1929 and a Ph. D. from Yale University in 1932. After leaving Yale, he was

I chose to analyze the case of Ted Bundy because when I was in high school I saw the movie Ted Bundy. At the time that I watched this movie I was already interested in going to college and majoring in psychology. I wanted to know why people do the things they do. Going into this subject I find everything about Ted Bundy’s case intriguing. Throughout the course of this class I have learned so many theories and risk factors that explain why criminals do the things they do. I feel like writing about

Social learning theory is about imitating behaviour. Bandura was one of many psychologists who did some depth work into the subject. Bandura concocted an experiment that was based on classic study on observational learning or modelling. Young children were shown a film of an adult being aggressive towards a Bobo doll - hitting it with a hammer. The children that were shown praise were made to walk up and down a corridor before entering a room - this made them frustrated. When they were in the
