10. Attention
• Pay attention to the features
of the modelled behaviour.
Retention
• Remember details of the
behaviour in order to learn
and reproduce
Reproduction
• The opportunity
to reproduce
must be available
Motivation
Social Learning Theory
• Observation
• Imitation (copying)
• Role Models

11. • Motivation from the environment
• Eg. Approval / Reward / ItemsExternal
• Motivation from a feeling or want.
• Eg. Happiness / Enjoyment / FunInternal
• Motivation by watching others.
• Eg. Friend gets reward : you wantVicarious

17. Stage One
Child is placed in a
room with a bobo
doll and is a passive
witness to either the
aggressive or non-
aggressive role
model.
Stage Two
Mild
aggressive
arousal.
Stage Three
Child is taken to a
play room where
there is a bobo doll
along with other
toys. Observed for
20 minutes.

18. A
• Aim
• What did they hope to find? What was their
research question? What theory is the study
attempting to support? How is it going to support it?
P
• Procedure
• What did they do? How did they do it? Who did they
do it to? When did they do it?
Page 23-26
Time line activity
Starting with the initial observations prior to the experiment
and ending with the 20 minutes of observation at the end
plot a timeline of the study ensuring that you have all stages
in detail.

19. Following on from the timeline that you have
completed give two examples of quantitative results
from the study and two examples of qualitative
results from the study. (5 minutes)

20. 1. Briefly explain Bandura’s social learning theory?
2. What type of method did Bandura use?
3. What type of design did Bandura use and why did he use it?
4. What are the IVs in the study?
5. How did Bandura match the children?
6. Why were the children exposed to ‘mild aggression arousal’?
7. Describe a possible weakness with the sample
8. What were the main controls in the study?
9. Describe how the dependent variables were measured
10. How else could the DV have been measured?
11. Why was both imitative and non-imitative aggression observed?
12. In what ways does Bandura’s study lack ecological validity?
13. What does this study tell us about aggression?
14. Boys were more likely to imitate physical aggression than girls.
Why is this the case according to Bandura?
15. According to Bandura how could we reduce aggression?
