Bandura wanted to show‚ by using aggressive and non-aggressive adult-actors‚ that a child would be apt to replicate and learn from the behavior of a trusted adult (Shuttleworth‚ M. 2008). These issues have been present for many years‚ even before the media used these

He hypothesized that individuals who would never intentionally cause someone physical harm would do so if ordered by a powerful authority figure.

The aim of the experiment was to examine the effects of consuming lactate before and during a prolonged exercise. The data shows that the consumption of the lactate actually did work and the performance of the subject was better than the previous three experiments of dieting. This was due to the lactate that was consumed in the CytoMax. Azevedo‚ Tietz‚ Two-Feathers‚ Paull‚ and Chapman (2007) state that CytoMax contains polylactate which speeds up the delivery of substrates and is thought to help

The Bandura et al experiment in 1961 conducted research into how we can transmit aggression through imitating aggressive models. 36 boys and 36 girls aged between 37 and 69 months were subject to this experiment. There were 3 conditions‚ the control group‚ the group exposed to the aggressive model and the group exposed to the passive model. In the standard condition‚ a child was settled in a corner with a small table and chair‚ potato prints and picture stickers. An adult model was then escorted
