Observational learning learning by observing and imitating the behavior of others Modeling the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior Previous Play Next Rewind 10 seconds Move forward 10 seconds Unmute -- / -- Full screen Brainpower Read More Application of the study to the developmental approach the study specifically explores learning through observation, initiation, and modeling (social learning) Purpose of the study Overall: To investigate observational learning of aggression. 1. To see whether children would reproduce aggressive behavior when the model was no longer present. 2. To look for gender differences in learning of aggression. Hypothesis 1 Observed aggressive behavior will be imitated, so children seeing aggressive models will be more aggressive than those seeing a non-aggressive model or no model. Hypothesis 2 Observed non-aggressive behavior will be imitated, so children seeing non-aggressive models will be less aggressive than those seeing no model. Hypothesis 3 Children are more likely to copy a same-sex model to a greater degree than opposite-sex models. Hypothesis 4 Boys will be more likely to copy aggression than girls, especially with the male rather than female aggressive model. IV - the behavior of the model (aggressive or non-aggressive) - the sex of the model - the presence of a model DV Amount of aggression demonstrated by the child in a later situation (both imitative & non-imitative) ie. the learning the child displayed. Design of study type: lab experiment (controlled observation) place: Stanford University Nursery School design: matched pairs design and independent measures design Type of sample opportunity sample Two numerical details about sample 72 children between the ages of 37 and 69 months with a mean age of 52 months. There were 36 boys and 36 girls. 3 groups of participants Aggressive, non-aggressive, and a control group How participants were matched in the study Subjects were divided into eight experimental groups of six subjects each and a control group consisting of 24 subjects. Half the experimental subjects were exposed to models that were subdued and non aggressive in their behavior. These groups were further subdivided into male and female subjects. Half the subjects in the aggressive and non aggressive conditions observed same-sex models, while the remaining subjects in each group viewed models of the opposite sex. Subjects in the experimental and control groups were matched individually on the basis of ratings of their aggressive behavior in social interactions. Apparatuses (toys) (phase 1) stickers and potato prints (the model had tinker toys, a mallet, and a 3-foot Bobo doll) Apparatuses (toys) (phase 2) fire engine, jet fighter plane, colorful spinning top, doll set (complete with wardrobe, doll carriage, and baby crib), a locomotive, a cable car
