PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Observational learning is a major component of Bandura’s social learning theory. He also emphasized that four conditions were necessary in any form of observing and modeling behavior: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Albert Bandura’s theory of Reciprocal Determinism posits that how humans act is influenced by three factors: environment, individual characteristics, and behavior. In addition, all three factors are influenced by each other, known as triadic reciprocal causation.

Detailed explanation-4: -– Albert Bandura As the creator of the concept of social learning theory, Bandura proposes five essential steps in order for the learning to take place: observation, attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. Let’s have a look at how these work.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is an explanation for why the children in Bandura’s 1961 study did not imitate the behaviour of the female model when she was bashing the Bobo? She reminded them of their mothers. The women only engaged in verbal aggression and most of the children were too young to understand.
