Outline and evaluate research into institutional aggression deindividuation include being in a large crowd‚ anonymity due to wearing a uniform and altered consciousness due to drugs or alcohol. Deindividuation leads to reduced inner restraints and therefore an increase in behaviours that are usually inhibited and also reduces the fear of negative evaluation from others. This leads to an increase in aggressive behaviours. Recent changes to this theory focus on the importance of private self-awareness

Outline and evaluate one social psychological theory of aggression (24) One social-psychological theory of aggression is Bandura’s Social Learning Theory (SLT)‚ which suggests that people learn behaviour by not only direct reinforcement and punishment but also by observing the behaviour of others. If a person observes aggressive behaviour from a model figure‚ they may imitate this behaviour‚ especially if they identify or look up to the model. This does not necessarily mean that the aggressive behaviour

learning theory as an explanation of aggression (24) According to the social learning theory there are multiple ways of learning behaviours‚ such as aggression. One way of learning behaviours is through observation and some psychologists have claimed children primarily learn aggressive behaviours observing role models (someone who is similar to the child or in a position of power‚ of who the child can copy behaviour from). For example‚ children may learn aggression from watching their parents act in

How social learning and aggression affects children’s behaviour Introduction This report introduces you to a study by Bandura‚ Ross and Ross which aimed at finding out how social learning and aggression as contributed to our understanding of children’s behaviour. We will find out why they had done this research‚ what happened during this experiment and their outcomes. Background: Bandura and colleagues researched how we learn‚ particularly how social learning has framed aspects of behaviour

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. SLT implies that all behaviours are learned‚ and that is by watching‚ or ‘observing’ others. Therefore children learn aggressive behaviours by observing others aggressive behaviours. However‚ it is not that simple. For a child to learn this‚ they must first notice a potential role model

ability to use aggressive behaviour to get what they want. Children who are confident that they will be able to use aggressive behaviour effectively to achieve their ends are high in self-efficacy; those with less confidence in their ability to use aggression are low in self-efficiency and may decide to use other methods. The social learning theory is supported by Bandura et al.‚ who found that children who observed a model behaviour behaving aggressively towards a Bobo doll were more likely to reproduce

The German–Polish Non-Aggression Pact (German: Deutsch-polnischer Nichtangriffspakt; Polish: Polsko-niemiecki pakt o nieagresji) was an international treaty between Nazi Germany and the Second Polish Republic‚ signed on January 26‚ 1934.

are two social psychological approaches to aggression. These are social learning theory (SLT) and deindividuation theory (DT). Both these theories stress that aggression is a learnt process‚ they believe that aggression is due to our nurture and not in our nature. They dispute the biological approach to aggression. Social learning theory was proposed by Alburt Bandura. He used the word modeling to explain how humans can quickly learn acts of aggression and incorporate these into their behavior.

One gene which has been linked to aggression is the gene coding for the production of monoamine oxidise A (MAOA). Brunner et al 1993 studied the men in a family with a tradition of violent men‚ they discovered that the gene responsible for producing the enzyme MAOA may be associated with aggressive behaviour. The normal gene that makes an enzyme which metabolises hormones and neurotransmitters (including adrenaline and noradrenaline). With a mutated gene there is less enzymes and so the levels of
