Psychology Help? (A/S level CIE)
« on: May 11, 2010, 02:39:02 pm »
Hi!

How ecologically valid is the Bandura (obidence) study?

So far all I got is ....

The laboratory circumstances could have created ‘demand characteristics’, whereby the participants behaved in an unnatural way because they wanted to please the experimenter. This also applies to being paid.

Anyone got any others?

Thanks!

The obedience study is Milgram, not Bandura.

Bandura was with the children in it.

In Milgrams study  it wasn't valid due to the reason you mentioned.
Demand characteristics, as they were paid before the experiment, and therefore they may have felt obliged to continue with it.
Also the setting, it was held at a Prestigious University which may have influenced the participant,
and also the experimenter was sitting there, they may also have felt obliged to do this.

The experiment isn't valid because normal people wouldn't shock other people.

However it is RELIAAABLLLEEE

That's it really.

Lots of ethics though.

Hope it helped :)

Suggest changes to the study that might improve it ecological validity?
