Question 9 • CUSD Psychology (5.0)

Which of the following accurately represents one of the outcomes of Bandura’s Bobo doll experiments?

Answer
A
The children were more likely to show a decrease in aggressive behavior when aggressive behavior was rewarded.
B
No children showed any change in level of aggressive behavior during the experiment.
C
The children were more likely to show increases in aggressive behavior when aggressive behavior was rewarded.
D
The children were more likely to show increases in aggressive behavior when aggressive behavior was punished.

Explanation

Bandura’s Bobo doll studies showed that children learned aggressive actions by observing adults. When the model’s aggressive behavior was rewarded, children were more likely to imitate it and show increased aggression. Punishing the model generally reduced children’s imitation, so choice D reverses the finding.
