PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -What is meant by “Bandura used a matched-pairs design?” Matched pairs means that once all children were measured for their level of aggression, they would then be ranked and allocated to groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -Method and Design Bandura, Ross and Ross (1961) used a laboratory experiment with a matched participants design. There were three independent variables: Whether the child witnessed an aggressive or a non-aggressive adult model in the first phase of the experiment (a control group was not exposed to an adult model).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Bobo doll experiment In 1961 Bandura carried out his famous Bobo doll experiment, a study in which researchers physically and verbally abused a clown-faced inflatable toy in front of preschool-age children, which led the children to later mimic the behaviour of the adults by attacking the doll in the same fashion.
