Question

jerry uses profanity often around his children but tells them they should never use those words. according to research on observational learning, jerrys children are most likely to select one answer a ignore jerrys use of profanity. b not use profanity, and tell others not to as well. c use profanity like jerry, but tell others they should not. d use profanity like jerry, and tell others it is okay to do so.

Explanation:

Observational learning (from Social Science - Psychology) states that people learn by observing others' behaviors (models). Jerry's behavior (using profanity) is a model, while his words (telling not to use) are a different message. Children are likely to imitate the observed behavior (profanity use) but may also internalize the verbal instruction to tell others not to use it, matching option C.

Answer:

C. Use profanity like Jerry, but tell others they should not.
