good but other times the children could act out an aggressive argument. Children could be re-acting what happens in the house or what they have seen in someone else house. Children seem to always copy what a parent or older sibling does and Albert Bandura showed this in his experiment. His experiment was called the bobo doll theory‚ Albert had done hundreds of studies but the bobo doll theory is the one that stands out amongst the others.

Discuss one or more socio-psychological explanations of aggression. (24 marks) Social learning theory (SLT) is just one of the few theories that attempt to explain aggression‚ in regards to social psychology.

The Bobo doll experiment was the name of two experiments conducted by Albert Bandura in 1961 and 1963 studying patterns of behavior associated with aggression. The Bobo Doll used in the experiment is an inflatable toy that is roughly the same size as a young child. Bandura hoped that the experiments would prove that aggression can be explained‚ at least in part‚ by social learning theory. The theory of social learning would state that behavior such as aggression is learned through observing and imitating

conducted off of the idea of modeling. Albert Bandura created this bobo doll experiment in order to demonstrate one method of how children learn aggression. Bandura believed that learning occurred through observation (modeling) and interaction with other people. The experiment involved exposing children to an aggressive and non-aggressive adult model. Then‚ the children were put in a room without the model to see if they would imitate the behavior. Bandura predicted that children exposed to non-aggressive

It focuses on 3 different things: classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning and social learning theory. Classical conditioning was developed by Pavlov through his work on animals.
