Question

in banduras experiment children watched a video of an adult doing things to a toy and then when placed in a room of toys the children in the experimental group ______. repeated the adult behavior toward the toy acted more appropriately than the adult were afraid of the toy in the laboratory

Explanation:

Bandura's Bobo doll experiment demonstrated observational learning (social learning theory). Children in the experimental group, who watched an adult model aggressive behavior toward the doll, later repeated that aggressive behavior when given the opportunity. The other options are inconsistent with the experiment's findings: the children didn't act more appropriately (they imitated the aggressive acts) and weren't afraid of the toy (they imitated the aggressive behavior toward it).

Answer:

A. repeated the adult behavior toward the toy
