bobo doll theory

1. social learning is learning through observation and imitation

2. they were observing

   • live models- right infront of you
   • symbolic models- in the news,media,TV or fashion

3. we imitate people who we feel are similar to us e.g same sex models

   • we feel there is a similar chance of reciving the same outcome

4. we go throgh internal mental processes before imitation.

   • we think about the consequences and whether imitation is desirable
     • this forms the decision as to whether we will imitate
