Previous research has shown that children will readily imitate behaviour demonstrated by an adult model.
What was the research method for Bandura?
Laboratory experiment which uses an independant measures design.
What were the IVs in Bandura?
- aggressive or non-aggressive model
- sex of model
- sex of the child
What was the DV in Bandura?
the amount of imitative behaviour and aggression shown by the child in phase 3
