| Outline what is meant by 'mediational processes' | The cognitive factors involved in deciding whether or not to imitate a model |
| Define aggression | An act towards another, or an object, which intends to cause it/them harm |
| In the background to this study, what gender differences in aggression were identified? | Males are more aggressive than females |
| What was the aim of this study? | To see if children will imitate aggressive behaviour; and whether gender plays a role |
| Identify the independent variables in this study | Gender of the child; aggressive or non-aggressive model; gender of the model |
| What type of study was this? | Controlled observation |
| How many different groups were participants split into? | 8 |
| What was the experimental design in this study? | Matched pairs |
| Identify all of the dependent variables in this study | How the child behaves with the doll - aggression, imitation |
| On what criteria were participants matched? How did they achieve this? | How aggressive they were in general - asking their teachers and parents to rate their aggression levels |
| How did Bandura operationalise the dependent variable? | Behavioural categories included: imitative aggression, non-imitative aggression, mallet aggression, verbal aggression, imitative verbal aggression, aggressive gun play |
| How did Bandura frustrate the children before they were placed in the room with the Bobo Doll? | Showed them attractive toys and then said they couldn't play with them |
| For how long were the children left in the room with the Bobo Doll? | 20 minutes |
| What sampling technique was used to record observations? | Time sampling - record the behaviour at 5-second intervals |
| List all of the examples of verbal aggression that the model displayed | Kick him, Sock him, Hit him down, Throw him in the air, Pow |
| Describe the room that the children were taken to for the test for delayed imitation | A series of aggressive (e.g. Bobo Doll, mallet) and non-aggressive (e.g. tea set, crayons) toys were placed in a standardised way around the room |
| Outline the findings, based on aggression of the model | Exposure to an aggressive model led to more aggression from the ppts |
| Outline the findings, based on the gender of the model | If the gender of the model matched that of the child, aggression was more likely |
| Outine the findings, based on the gender of the child | Males were more aggressive than the females |
| Outline the conclusions of this study | Exposure to aggression leads to more aggression (support for social learning theory) |
| Outline one ethical issue of this study | Children may take the learned aggression beyond the study |
| Outline one way in which this study could be considered ethical | Gained parental consent |
