The Bobo Doll Experiment (trouble finding the answer and the document) In Bandura’s study on aggression, the researchers observed the “imitative aggression” (copying the behavior of the model) and the “non-imitative aggression” of the children. Give one example of imitative aggression and one example of non-imitative aggression in the study. Why do you think the researchers looked at both types of aggression? The introduction to the study of Bandura includes four predictions (hypotheses). Give one of these predictions. Evaluate whether the results of the study support this prediction. All studies present some ethical issues to consider. Describe at least one issue that you think this experiment presents.

  2. The introduction to the study of Bandura includes four predictions (hypotheses). Give one of these predictions. Evaluate whether the results of the study support this prediction.
  3. All studies present some ethical issues to consider. Describe at least one issue that you think this experiment presents.
  4. In Bandura’s study, the boys made more aggressive acts than the girls.  Suggest two possible reasons for this. Identify and explain one factor that might affect how far we can generalize the findings of this study.
  5. Some psychologists argue that behavior is learned through imitation.  From the study by Bandura on the imitation of aggression: Give two examples of behaviors that were imitated by the children. Suggest one implication for society if children do learn by imitation (how does this impact society?).
  6. Give two findings from the study on aggression by Bandura.
  7. Explain how one control was used in the study on aggression by Bandura. Suggest one reason why it is difficult to generalize from the findings of this study to aggression outside the laboratory.
  8. The study by Bandura, explains why a one-way mirror was used to observe the children.
