| Real life application of Bandura? | Watershed, violent tv starting at 9pm so children are in bed. |
| What is the social learning theory? | Criminality can be learnt from other rather than through direct reinforcement |
| What does Bandura claim about observational learning? | Criminality is cuased by it, it invloved observing and modeling th epoeple around us |

| What is reproduction in the modelling process? | People must have the capcity (skills) for imitiating the behaviour |
| What was the desgin of the Bandura study? | Matched paris |
| What was the sample size, age, gender, background? | 72 children
37-69 months
50:50 boy girl
Stanford university nusery school |
| How were they devided into groups ? | 8 subgroups, 6 people in each, control group of 24 participatns. Each group had eaither a boy or a girl role modle. |

| Boys agression in contrast to girls? | Boys more phsycailly agressive, no difference between verbal aggression. |
| How did Bandura explain the aggression with the children? | Exposure to aggressive role model weakenn inhbitory repsonses in the childen and increases the likelihood that the childen will exhibit aggressive reactions. |
| Real life application of Bandura? | Watershed, violent tv starting at 9pm so children are in bed. |
| Strength? | Supported by Bandura, shows the agressive behaviour of role modle |
| Strength? | Imrpove parenting, watershed TV. Awaness of role models and limiting violent TV |
| Weakness? | Doesn't take into account personality and genetics only the environemnt in which the child grows up in |
| Weakness? | Challeneged by Charlton, bevhaiour is not significantly affected by observing role modles on TV |
