According to Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, children learn a great deal through modeling and imitation. For this assignment, first watch this video regarding children imitating aggressive acts:
Geert Stienissen (2010, Aug 19). Bobo Doll experiment (Bandura) [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/embed/eqNaLerMNOE
Next, watch a cartoon available for children today, which should run from 8 to 12 minutes. Count the acts of aggression that you observe.
Discuss how this modern-day cartoon equates to Albert Bandura’s Bobo Doll experiment. What types of behaviors might children be imitating after watching this cartoon? Should parents be concerned about monitoring what their children watch for entertainment? If so, how can parents help to alleviate some of the unwanted imitation?
For your paper, please include:
What cartoon you watched
How you defined an act of aggression (i.e. physical, emotional, etc.)
How many acts of aggression you observed
This response should be a minimum of 300 words and use proper APA Style documentation. Be sure to support your argument with ideas from the textbook or your own independent research. All information must be cited in the body of the text (ideas as well as writing) even if not directly quoting.
Please carefully read the rubric below and follow it for full credit.
