TMA01 – Part 1
Write a short piece summarising and interpreting the information presented in the table below (200 words).
A Reflection of Aggression in Studies of Children.
The following table summarises the findings by Bandura, Ross and Ross (1963), on whether participants would imitate aggressive behaviour when viewed.
Condition
|Types of aggression |Live model |Film model |Cartoon Model |Control (no model)|
|Imitative aggression |21.3 |16.4 |12.0 |2.9 |
|Partial imitative aggression |20.1 |26.4 |24.7 |13.3 |
|(mallet use) | | | | |
|Non-imitative aggression |34.2 |34.2 |49.7 |29.1 |
|Total aggression |75.6 |77.0 |86.4 |45.3 |
When conducting this experiment, all of the participants experienced the same event; the same room, people and toys. Bandura and colleagues changed one element; how much violence each of the participants were exposed to.
The experiment used a number of toys; a Bobo doll and peg board. A selection of 'Non-aggressive' toys were also used: a tea set and crayons.
Three groups were exposed to 'experimental conditions', i.e. A live model, film model and cartoon model behaving aggressively. The model repeatedly hit the doll; saying things like 'sock him in the nose' and 'kick him'. In the fourth group, the 'control condition', participants were not exposed to aggressive behaviour.
As summarised in the table, overall the total aggression (combination of all types of aggression) was highest in the cartoon...
