BANDURA, ROSS AND ROSS

Aim- The aim of Banduras study was to find out whether children, as passive witnesses to an aggressive display shown by an adult, would imitate this aggressive behaviour when given the opportunity.

Hypotheses:

-Subjects exposed to aggressive models will reproduce aggressive acts resembling those of the models.
- The observation of non aggressive models will have a generalised inhibiting effect on the subjects subsequent behaviour.
-Subjects will imitate the behaviour of a same sex model to a greater degree than a model of the opposite sex
- Boys will imitate more aggressive behaviour than girls.

Participants:

36 girls 36 boys ages ranged between 3-5 years.
1 male adult, and 1 female adult.

Procedure:

It was a lab experiment, which had 3 conditions:
-The control group
-The group exposed to the aggressive model
-The group exposed to the passive model

a.) Aggressive model condition
- 6 boys with the same sex model
- 6 girls with the same sex model
- 6 boys with the opposite sex model
- 6 girls with the opposite sex model

b.) Non-Aggressive model condition
- 6 boys with the same sex model
- 6 girls with the same sex model
- 6 boys with the opposite sex model
- 6 girls with the opposite sex model

There are therefore 3 independent variables:
-The condition the children were exposed to
-The gender of the role model
-The gender of the child.

Results:

1. Imitative Behaviour- Those in the aggressive group imitated many of the models verbal and physical aggression, both aggressive and non aggressive behaviours in fa t 1/3 of their imitations were of non aggressive verbal behaviour.
In contrast, children in the non aggressive condition displayed very few of these behaviour.

2. Non imitative aggression: The aggressive group displayed much more non imitative aggression than the non aggressive group.

3. Non aggressive behaviour- children in the non aggressive condition spent more timeplaying non aggressively with dolls than children in the other groups, and also spent more time just sitting and playing with nothing.

4. Gender- Boys imitate more physical aggression than girls, but not verbal aggression. There was evidence of same sex effect, where boys were more likely to imitate their male role model than the female role model, and girls were more likely to imitate their female role model than the male role model.
