- 5BOBO DOLL THEORY who was the researcher?BANDURA
- 6BOBO DOLL THEORY what was the sample?- 36 boys and 36 girls
- average age of 4 years and 4 months
- 3 groups
- matched pairs - 7BOBO DOLL THEORY aims?to provide evidence that we learn through observations and that children can obtain aggressive behaviours though the imitation of an aggressive adult role model
- 8BOBO DOLL THEORY Procedure?- children (in condition 1) individually observed an adult role model acting aggressively towards a Bobo doll (e.g. hitting kicking punching)
- the children were then caused distress by not being allowed to play with certain toys
- left in a room with the Bobo Doll and observed for 20 minuted through two way mirror. - 9BOBO DOLL THEORY Findings?those exposed to the aggressive role model acted aggressively towards the bobo doll, some even directly imitating the adults actions.
- 10BOBO DOLL THEORY significanceprovides evidence that we learn through observation and that children can pick up behaviours (e.g. aggression) from adult role models (e.g. parents)
- 11NECESSITIES FOR SOCIAL LEARNIGN THEORYATTENTION
RETENTION
REPRODUCTION
MOTIVATION - 12SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY KEY TERMS - attentionthe model performing the behaviour must hold the attention of the person in order to imitate it.
factors of attention: similarity, attractiveness, status - 13SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY KEY TERMS - retentionthe behaviour has to be remembered in order to be imitated
- 14SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY KEY TERMS - reproductionthe person needs to have the ability to carry out the behaviour
- 15SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY KEY TERMS - motivationthe person must want to imitate the behaviour
this may be due to vicarious reinforcement (they see someone else being rewarded for the behaviour) - 16ELVAUATION outline a strengthFURTHER RESEARCH -
patterson et al demonstrated that role models are key in the development of anti-social behaviour. a study found that aggressive children came from families who were also aggressive and lacked affection. supplying wider academic research to support SLT. - 17ELVAUATION outline a strengthHas high reliability because it is largely based on lab experiments, meaning extraneous variables are controlled.
- 18ELVAUATION outline a weaknesslacks ecological validity because it is largely based on lab experiments, meaning it can't be applied to realise situations.
- 19ELVAUATION outline a weaknessthe children experienced demand characteristics. while under observation the children reported that they were expected to hit the Bobo Doll. Methodological flaws
- 20ELVAUATION outline a weaknessUnethical - the children were encouraged to act aggressively and did not leave the experiment as they entered, they now had aggressive behaviours. suggesting that similar research could exploit children.
