    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Bandura believed that behaviour is learned from the environment.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Bandura's belief that behavior is learned from the environment is supported by his social learning theory. According to this theory, individuals observe and imitate the behaviors of others, particularly those they perceive as role models or influential figures in their environment. Bandura argued that through this observational learning process, individuals acquire new behaviors and modify existing ones. This perspective emphasizes the importance of social interactions and environmental influences in shaping human behavior, suggesting that behavior is not solely determined by internal factors but is also influenced by external factors in the environment.

  • 4. 

    If a child sees behaviour that is rewarding they are less likely to imitate it.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. If a child sees behavior that is rewarding, they are more likely to imitate it. Children learn through observation and imitation, and they are more likely to imitate behaviors that they see being rewarded or praised. This is because they associate the behavior with positive outcomes and are motivated to engage in it themselves.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    There was no control group involved.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "There was no control group involved" is false. In scientific experiments, a control group is essential to compare the results with the group that receives the experimental treatment. It helps to determine the effectiveness of the treatment by providing a baseline for comparison. Without a control group, it would be difficult to assess the impact of the experimental treatment accurately. Therefore, it is important to have a control group in research studies to ensure reliable and valid results.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Why did Bandura test the children before they participated?

    • To see how excited they were about participating.

    • To see if they had participated in something similar before.

    • To see how aggressive they were.

    • To see how good their behaviour was.

    Correct Answer
    A. To see how aggressive they were.
    Explanation
    Bandura tested the children before they participated to assess their level of aggression. By measuring their aggression beforehand, Bandura could compare it to their behavior after participating in order to determine if the exposure to aggressive models influenced their own aggressive tendencies. This allowed Bandura to examine the impact of observational learning and determine the relationship between exposure to aggression and subsequent aggressive behavior in children.

    Rate this question:
