| Social Learning Theory: understanding social behavior by focusing on how individual imitate the actions of others to model their own behavior. |

|
| PP's: 72 children (36 girls/36 boys) from Stanford University nursery. Aged 37-69 months (3-6 years). 24 were in a control group, 48 were in conditions 1 + 2 | Condition 1: Aggression model observed. Condition 2: Non-aggression model observed. Condition 3: No model exposed. |
| IV's: Sex of child; sex of model; and behavior of model. DV's: Behavioral response from child. |

|
| Experimental Observation: Split into 3 stages in order to achieve aggression arousal. | Stage 1: Modelling This is were the children in control group 1 are exposed to the aggressive model. The model would shout at the "BoBo Doll, whack it with a toy mallet, etc. |
| Stage 2: Aggression Arousal The children are taken to a separate room to play with shiny new toys. After a while, the child is told that the toys are special and for the other children. | Stage 3: Delayed Imitation The experimenter remains in the room to do paperwork but records the child's behavior every 5 seconds for 20 mins. Total of 240 observations made. |

Observers recorded indepentantly and inter rater reliability for aggressive behaviour was 0.9/1 (very high). |

Conclusions: New behaviors can be learnt by observing a model in one situation and then imitated in another situation. |
| Observing adult models acting aggressively has the effect of weakening aggressive inhibitors in children, therefore making aggressive behavior more likely. | Boys are more physically aggressive than girls. Boys are more likely than girls to imitate behavior of same-sex models. |
