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.

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.
