Psychologist Albert Bandura conducted the famous Bobo doll experiment in 1961 to study observational learning and aggression. In the experiment, children observed an adult acting aggressively towards a Bobo doll (punching, kicking, hitting it with a hammer). Later, the children who observed this behavior exhibited more aggressive behavior towards the Bobo doll than children who did not observe this model. The experiment demonstrated that children learn social behaviors like aggression through observation. It provided evidence for Bandura's social learning theory, showing that children imitate and model the behaviors they observe in others.

Social learning theory
Albert Bandura developed social learning theory which posits that people can learn through observation of others. The theory includes three core concepts: observational learning, modeling behavior, and reciprocal determinism. Bandura demonstrated observational learning through his famous Bobo doll experiment which showed children imitating aggressive behaviors they observed in adults. However, the experiment had some limitations and criticisms including questioning its real-world applicability and ethics. Social learning theory emphasizes that learning is a cognitive process that occurs in a social context with reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioral, and environmental influences.
ALBERT BANDURA Social Learning Theory
Social learning theory, also known as observational learning, emphasizes that learning occurs through observation of others. The theory proposes that people can learn new behaviors both by watching others perform behaviors and through the associated outcomes of those behaviors, without their own direct experiences. There are four main concepts of social learning theory: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. Teachers can apply social learning theory in the classroom by having students observe and model behaviors, such as using adjectives in a descriptive writing lesson.
Observational learning
Observational learning is learning that occurs through observing others, also known as modeling. A significant amount of learning, especially in childhood, happens this way as people watch and imitate others. Albert Bandura's social-cognitive theory emphasized that people learn by observing models and believing they can also influence events through their own behaviors. The modeling process involves paying attention, retaining information, being able to reproduce behaviors, and having motivation.
An overview of bandura's social learning theory
The social learning theory proposed by Albert Bandura has become perhaps the most influential theory of learning and development.
Though rooted in many of the basic concepts of traditional learning theory, Bandura believed that direct reinforcement could not account for all types of learning.
His theory added a social element, arguing that people can learn new information and behaviors by watching other people.
Known as observational learning (or modeling), this type of learning can be used to explain a wide variety of behaviors.
Observational Learning Slides
Observational learning occurs when people learn new behaviors by watching others. Three key studies demonstrated this:
1. Bandura's Bobo doll experiment showed that children who observed an adult acting aggressively towards a Bobo doll were more likely to mimic that aggressive behavior, while children who saw a neutral adult did not.
2. Experiments with animals like hummingbirds found that birds learned to use a new type of feeder faster when able to observe a "tutor" bird using it first.
3. Brain scans show our brains activate in similar ways both when performing an action and when watching someone else perform it, suggesting we mentally rehearse observed behaviors.
Social Cognitive Theory, Observational Learning
Albert Bandura was a Canadian-American psychologist who developed social learning theory. Some key points about Bandura:
- He was born in 1925 in Canada and obtained his graduate degrees from the University of British Columbia and Iowa State University.
- Bandura's social learning theory posits that people can learn through observation of others, called observational learning.
- He conducted famous Bobo doll experiments in the 1960s which showed that children's behavior could be influenced by observing aggressive behavior modeled by adults.
- Bandura outlined a four step process of observational learning: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. His theory emphasized how both cognitive and behavioral factors influence learning.
Bobo doll experiment
The Bobo Doll Experiment conducted by Albert Bandura in 1961 and 1963 showed that children's behavior can be influenced by observing and imitating aggressive models. In the experiment, children witnessed an adult acting aggressively or non-aggressively towards an inflatable Bobo doll. Later observations found that children who saw the aggressive model were more likely to imitate that aggression when interacting with the doll themselves. This supported Bandura's social learning theory that observational learning can influence behavior with or without rewards or punishments. The experiment highlighted the potential effects of exposing children to violence in media.

Albert bandura
Albert Bandura developed social cognitive theory, which posits that personality is shaped through the interaction of personal factors, behavior, and the environment. Some key aspects of social cognitive theory are:
1. Observational learning, where people learn behaviors by watching others, plays a central role.
2. Bandura proposed triadic reciprocal causation, where personal factors, behaviors, and the environment interact bidirectionally to influence each other.
3. Human agency is an important concept, referring to people's ability to intentionally pursue courses of action and exercise control over their lives.

Social Cognitive Theory
Albert Bandura developed social cognitive theory which posits that learning occurs through observation and modeling behaviors. He conducted the Bobo doll experiment which demonstrated that children will mimic aggressive behaviors they observe in adults. Social cognitive theory assumes learning is influenced by environment, personal factors, and behaviors in a reciprocal relationship. Learning occurs through attention, retention, reproduction, and is motivated by models, perceived self-efficacy, and reinforcement.
Kohler Insightful learning theory
Gestalt psychology began in Germany in the early 20th century and focused on the idea of "learning by insight". Key founders included Wertheimer, Kohler, and Koffka. Kohler conducted experiments with chimpanzees that demonstrated insight learning. In one experiment, a chimpanzee used boxes to reach a banana hung out of reach, and in another used sticks of different lengths combined to reach a banana outside its cage. The experiments showed that learning could occur through sudden insights into solving problems rather than just trial and error. Teachers should present material in a way that allows students to gain insights into relationships and concepts as a whole rather than focusing only on separate parts.
Operant Conditioning
This document discusses operant conditioning and how it influences learning and behavior. It defines operant conditioning as a method of learning through reinforcement and punishment. Behaviors are strengthened when followed by positive reinforcement or escape from negative reinforcement, and weakened when followed by punishment. The document uses B.F. Skinner's experiments with rats in a Skinner Box as a classic example of how operant conditioning shapes behavior through variable schedules of reinforcement and punishment.
Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is a type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. In Pavlov's famous experiment, dogs were conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell, which was paired with the presentation of food. Over time, the bell became a conditioned stimulus that elicited the same salivation response as the unconditioned stimulus of food. Stimulus generalization can also occur, where similar stimuli to the conditioned one produce the same response. Extinction is when the conditioned response decreases and disappears without the unconditioned stimulus, but spontaneous recovery may occur later.

Humanistic Psychology
Humanistic psychology developed in the 1960s-70s as a response to behaviorism and cognitivism. It emphasizes studying the whole person from their perspective and considers humans as inherently driven towards self-actualization. The founders, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, contributed significantly through Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and Rogers' person-centered therapy approach. Humanistic psychology views individuals as unique and believes psychology should understand individual cases rather than average group performances. It aims to promote self-direction, responsibility, creativity, curiosity, and interest in arts through education.
Skinner’s operant conditioning theory
Skinner's operant conditioning theory posits that behavior is shaped by its consequences rather than driven by internal processes or stimuli. Through experiments using a Skinner box, he found that rats would learn to press a lever when rewarded with food pellets. Their behavior was conditioned and reinforced through positive reinforcement. Operant conditioning is a process of learning whereby behaviors are strengthened if followed by rewarding consequences or weakened if followed by unpleasant consequences, with the goal of increasing or decreasing certain behaviors.
Behavior modification shaping
Shaping is a technique used to establish new behaviors through reinforcement of successive approximations. It involves defining a target behavior and breaking it down into gradual steps that reinforce closer approximations over time. Shaping is commonly used to train animals and rehabilitate human behaviors. Examples of how it is applied include teaching patients to increase time between bathroom visits or training an old man to walk using parallel bars in gradual steps from sitting to taking multiple steps of support. Guidelines for effective shaping specify selecting a desired behavior and reinforcer, then reinforcing mastery of each step before moving to the next approximation.
Skinner learning theory
Skinner developed the theory of operant conditioning to explain how behaviors are strengthened or weakened based on their consequences. He identified reinforcement, punishment, and extinction as processes that influence whether behaviors increase or decrease. Skinner argued that behaviors can be shaped through differential reinforcement by gradually moving an organism closer to a desired behavior. Behavior modification techniques apply operant conditioning principles to change behaviors by reinforcing wanted actions and reducing unwanted ones.

Bandura social cognitive theory
Bandura's social cognitive theory posits that learning occurs through observation of others within social contexts. His triadic causation model shows how personal factors, environmental influences, and one's behavior interact bidirectionally. Bandura identified four core elements of observational learning: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. Self-efficacy refers to one's beliefs about their capabilities and is shaped by mastery experiences, social persuasion, vicarious experiences, and physiological states. High self-efficacy relates to greater effort, persistence, and achievement.

Behaviorism in Psychology
Behaviorism is a theory of learning that states all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment. It focuses only on observable behaviors and their relationship to environmental stimuli. The two major types of conditioning are classical and operant conditioning. Operant conditioning involves reinforcing or punishing behaviors to increase or decrease their frequency. B.F. Skinner significantly expanded on operant conditioning principles through his research. Behaviorism provided a scientific framework for psychology but was later criticized for ignoring internal mental states.

Guilford's structure of intellect model
J.P. Guilford proposed the Structure of Intellect (SOI) model to describe 180 different types of intellectual abilities. The SOI model categorizes abilities into three dimensions: operations (6 types of thinking processes), content (5 types of information), and products (6 types of outcomes). Each combination of one operation, one content, and one product defines a specific intellectual ability. The model suggests intelligence involves distinct skills that can be improved through training. It also implies curriculum should incorporate different combinations of operations, content, and products to develop students' intellects based on their individual differences.
Bandura, ross and ross (1961)
Bandura conducted an experiment to test whether children would imitate aggressive behaviors they observed in adult models. Children were exposed to either an aggressive male or female model hitting a Bobo doll or a non-aggressive model. Those who saw the aggressive model were more likely to exhibit aggressive behaviors towards the doll later. Boys exhibited more aggression than girls, and children were more likely to imitate same-sex models. The study provided evidence that children learn through observing and imitating behaviors of role models.
Social Learning Theory
1. Albert Bandura's social learning theory proposes that people can learn through observation alone, without changing their behavior, and that cognition plays a role in learning.
2. Bandura demonstrated in his Bobo doll experiments that children imitate aggressive behaviors they observe in others.

Observational (Social) Learning Theory
Observational learning, also known as social learning theory, occurs when an observer's behavior changes after viewing a model's behavior. There are four key steps to observational learning: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. Bandura's famous Bobo doll experiments demonstrated that children will imitate aggressive behaviors they observe in models, especially if the model receives reinforcement. Social learning theory explains how behaviors like aggression are developed and how environmental experiences can influence children's learning of violence.
Social cognitive theory by albert bandura
This document outlines Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory. Some key points include:
- Bandura viewed people as agents who can intentionally influence their own experiences through forethought, self-reactiveness, and self-reflectiveness.
- His famous Bobo doll experiment demonstrated that children can learn aggression through observation and imitation of models.
- Observational learning occurs through attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation processes. Factors like characteristics of the model, attributes of the observer, and consequences influence modeling.
- Bandura explored how aggression, inhumane behavior, moral disengagement, and self-efficacy impact social learning and behavior. He showed how social influences shape humans through observational learning.
Social Learning Theory
The social learning theory proposes that people learn from one another via observation, imitation, and modeling. Proposed by Albert Bandura, it argues that observational learning, or modeling, is an important way people acquire behaviors in a social context. For effective modeling to occur, four conditions must be present: attention, retention, reproduction of behaviors, and motivation to imitate. Teachers can promote social learning by modeling appropriate behaviors for students to observe and applying techniques that expose students to diverse models and build self-efficacy.

Bandura and Social Learning Theories
Albert Bandura developed social learning theory, which posits that people learn through observing others either directly or through media. His famous Bobo doll experiment showed that children who observed an adult acting violently towards an inflatable doll later imitated that behavior when alone with the same toy. Bandura's concept of triadic reciprocal causation explained that behavioral, cognitive, and environmental factors all interact to influence learning. He also studied self-efficacy, or one's belief in their ability to perform behaviors successfully. Bandura's work has implications for educators in carefully selecting media, modeling appropriate behaviors, and fostering students' sense of self-efficacy and empowerment.
Social Learning Theory Bandura
The document discusses the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors of others. It defines observation as watching someone or something carefully to learn, and modeling as copying or learning from someone seen as competent. Modeling involves four processes: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. The document suggests teachers should use vicarious reinforcement and model positive behaviors themselves to help students learn.
Observational Learning Part2
1) The document summarizes Albert Bandura's research on observational learning, also known as modeling or social learning.
2) Bandura conducted the famous "Bobo doll experiment" in the 1960s which found that children were more likely to show aggressive behavior towards an inflatable doll after observing adults behaving aggressively towards it.
3) Bandura concluded that people learn not just through direct reinforcement or punishment, but also by observing and imitating the behaviors of others, even when no reinforcement is provided.
Audience and media effects theories
The document discusses several theories of media effects and audience behavior:
1) The hypodermic needle theory views audiences as passive recipients who are directly influenced by media messages.
2) Uses and gratifications theory sees audiences as active in choosing media to fulfill needs and goals. It focuses on understanding audience motives and consequences of media use.
3) Preferred readings theory by Stuart Hall recognizes that media texts aim to influence audiences in certain ways but audiences can also interpret messages oppositionally or through negotiation based on their own views.
Social learning theory
Bandura's social learning theory presented an optimistic view of human nature as compared to typical behaviorist.
Social Learning Theory
Social Learning Theory proposes that people can learn through observation of others. Key points of the theory include that observation allows learning without a change in behavior, cognition plays a role, and behaviors can be learned from live or symbolic models. For learning to occur through observation, one must pay attention, retain information, be able to reproduce behaviors, and be motivated. Factors like self-efficacy and self-regulation also influence what behaviors are learned and performed. The theory has implications for teaching new behaviors and increasing desirable behaviors through modeling.
Obedience and authority
Obedience is compliance with commands given by an authority figure. In the 1960s, the social psychologist Stanley Milgram did a famous research study called the obedience study.
It showed that people have a strong tendency to comply with authority figures.
Child albert bandura
Albert Bandura developed social learning theory, which proposes that people learn through observing others. His theory includes concepts like observational learning, modeling, imitation, and different types of reinforcement. Bandura demonstrated observational learning through his famous Bobo doll experiment, which showed that children's behavior could be influenced by simply watching a model. His theory of reciprocal determinism also posits that behavior is influenced bidirectionally by personal factors, environmental factors, and the behavior itself.
Lev vygotsky learning theory
Vygotsky believed that social interaction and cultural tools play a key role in cognitive development. He argued that cognitive development depends on interactions between children and people in their environment, including the use of tools like language. Vygotsky introduced the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development, which is the difference between what a child can do independently and what they can do with guidance and encouragement from a more skilled partner. Within the ZPD, scaffolding and reciprocal teaching can help children develop skills they will later use independently.
L5 authoritarian personality
This document evaluates explanations for obedience by examining Milgram's agentic state theory and the legitimate authority explanation. It finds issues with the agentic state theory, such as it removing individual blame and not accounting for gradual changes in behavior. The legitimate authority explanation is supported by real-world examples but seen as too simplistic. Other possible explanations discussed include gradual commitment, dehumanization, and authoritarian personality traits influencing obedience.
Social Learning Theory
1. Vygotsky placed more emphasis on social and cultural influences on cognitive development compared to Piaget, who focused more on universal stages of development.
2. Vygotsky argued that social interaction and language use are important for children's cognitive development, whereas Piaget underestimated these factors.
3. According to Vygotsky, learning occurs within the "zone of proximal development" where children can solve problems with guidance from others, such as teachers, before solving problems independently.
Dispositional factors
1. The F-scale consists of closed questions where participants rate their level of agreement on a scale.
2. Positive correlation. A positive correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. So in this case, as Authoritarianism increased, obedience also increased.

Asch Conformity Social Psychology AS
Asch conducted a classic conformity study where participants made judgments about the length of lines in unambiguous situations. In a control study, less than 1% of people made errors alone, showing the task was unambiguous. In the main study, 32% of participants conformed to the unanimous wrong answers of confederates at least once, showing the strong tendency to conform even when wrong. Variations found conformity reduced with smaller majorities and dissenters. The results suggest people strongly conform to group pressures, even when wrong.

Bobo doll! This experiment is one of my favorites.
Albert Bandura (still alive and at Stanford today) conducted an experiment in 1961 related to aggression and modeling. Children watched an adult beat up a blowup clown Bobo doll and then the children were observed to see if they modeled the adult's behavior. ("Bandura and Bobo", 2012)
Prior to this study, the view on aggression was that "hitting it out" would get the aggression out of a person. Today we know that aggressive behavior just escalates on itself. But the experiment was not about aggression itself, rather the intent was to see how much children copy adults through modeled behavior.
You can watch actual footage of the Bobo doll experiment on YouTube. Albert Bandura himself is the narrator.

Albert Bandura conducted the famous "Bobo doll" experiment to demonstrate that children can learn aggressive behaviors through observation. In the experiment, children observed an adult model interacting with a Bobo doll in either an aggressive, non-aggressive, or control condition. Children who observed the aggressive model were far more likely to exhibit aggressive behaviors toward the Bobo doll themselves. The results provided evidence that aggression can be learned through observation, supporting Bandura's social learning theory.
The social learning theory
Bandura's social learning theory proposes that aggression is learned through direct experience or observing others. His Bobo doll experiment demonstrated this by showing that children who observed an adult acting aggressively towards a Bobo doll were more likely to imitate that behavior, especially if the adult was rewarded. While the study provided evidence for social learning of aggression, it had limitations such as lacking realism and raising ethical issues by encouraging children to act aggressively. The theory also faces criticism for being overly simplistic and not accounting for biological factors influencing aggression. However, it can explain inconsistencies in when and where people display aggressive behaviors.

The social learning theory of Albert Bandura focuses on learning through observation and modeling behaviors. Key concepts include observational learning, imitation, and modeling. Bandura demonstrated that children learn behaviors by observing others, like imitating aggressive actions towards a Bobo doll. Social learning can occur without behavior change by just observing. Cognitive factors like attention, retention, motivation influence learning. Reciprocal determinism describes the interaction between person, behavior, and environment. Different types of models include live, verbal instructional, and symbolic models seen in media. The environment reinforces modeling through the model, third parties, or consequences of the modeled behavior.
Social learning theory final
The presentation will help you understand the concepts given by Albert Bandura on Social Learning, which includes the
Bobo Doll Experiment and also its implications.
Albert Bandura & Social Cognitive Theory
Albert Bandura was a Canadian-American psychologist who developed social learning theory, later called social cognitive theory. He conducted famous Bobo doll experiments in the 1960s which demonstrated that children can learn aggressive behaviors through observation. Bandura's social cognitive theory posits that learning occurs in a social context through observation and modeling of others, and is influenced by internal personal factors like attention and motivation.

- 4. The Bobo Doll Experiment • Tested how children learn and imitate aggressive behavior (Bandura, Ross & Ross,1961) • Genetic predisposition & abusive homes combined with the media increases “violent criminal behavior” (Heath, Kruttschnitt,and Ward, 1986) • Biggest factors contributing to media violence: desensitization and limited consequences (Dale, L.D., DiLoreto, J.D., Couto, M.C., Klein, J.K., Borto, J.B., McDonald, K.M., Pidano, A.P., McEvoy, K.M. & Olson, H.O., 2013) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/ Bobo_doll-en.svg/480px-Bobo_doll-en.svg.png
- 6. Results • Children that viewed the aggressive models were more aggressive • Girls who viewed male models - more physical • Girls who viewed a female model - more verbal • Boys were more physically aggressive • Children are more likely to model their behavior after nurturant models vs. threatening models (Bandura, Ross & Ross, 1961; Bandura & Bussey, 1999)

Editor's Notes
- Famous Psychologist - social cognitive Social Cognitive Theory is a theory of learning in which people learn by observing other people (imitation)
- Issue of imitation of aggressiveness is prevalent today b/c of the violence in the world. Examples: Aurora, Colorado Batman movie shooting; Video Game GTA spurring hit and run sprees; June 3rd Russian child stabbed 19 times due to Slenderman Game many friends love these forms of entertainment; long debated question of whether video games and TV causes violence
- 36 boys and 36 girls Total 72 -Stanford University Nursery School - 3 to 6 years old Children pre-tested for aggressiveness by observation. 5-point rating scale rated: physical, verbal, toward inanimate objects, aggressive inhibition. Matched pairs design - children matched to everyday aggression. 24 children watch male or female model behaving aggressively toward Bobo doll. Verbal "Pow, Boom”. Another 24 children had non-aggressive model played in a quiet and subdued manner for 10 minutes - ignored Bobo Doll non-aggressive toys:tea set, crayons, three bears, plastic farm animals. aggressive toys: mallet and peg board, dart guns, 3 foot Bobo doll.
- Problems: measures were taking immediately, there was no measurement of long term effects; done in lab -> less validity in real environments; could be seen as unethical to expose children to violence Positives: There was a measurement of all types of situations;
