Scenario III
Scenario III is based on fabricated data inspired by the following study:
Bandura, A., Ross, D. & Ross, S. A. (1961) . Transmission of aggression through imitation of aggressive models. Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, 63, 575-582.
[Children's imitation of adult aggressive behavior.]
In 1961 Bandura published his now famous Bobo Doll Study. The study was designed to examine whether children would exhibit aggressive behavior after observing adults behaving aggressively. Seventy-two children were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions. In the aggressive model condition the children witnessed an adult attacking a Bobo doll. In the nonaggressive model condition the children witnessed an adult playing quietly. In the control condition the children did not watch any adult models. All of the children were then taken to a room with several toys. Once they began playing with a toy they were told they could play with any toy but that one. The purpose of this was to make all of the children somewhat angry before taking them to another room which contained a variety of nonaggressive and aggressive toys, including a Bobo doll. The researchers hypothesized that children who witnessed an aggressive adult would be more inclined to behave aggressively themselves compared with children who witnessed a nonaggressive adult or no adult at all. The results supported this hypothesis. Children who observed an aggressive adult initiated significantly more aggressive acts.
-(Scenario III) Each child's level of aggression was determined by counting the number of aggressive acts initiated in a 10-minute period. This is an example of:
Psychodynamic
A psychological perspective that analyzes how behavior springs from unconscious drives and conflicts.
Collectivist
Pertaining to cultural values that emphasize the needs, goals, and views of the group over those of the individual.
Central Traits
are the key characteristics that define an individual's personality and are thought to be central to how we perceive and describe others.
Secondary Traits
Personality characteristics that are less consistent and more situational, influencing behavior in fewer scenarios compared to primary traits.
