Furthermore, research conducted by Cumberbatch (1997) states Bandura et al. (1961) experiment lacks credibility. Whereas Hart (2006) argued selection bias affected the internal validly of Bandura et al. study, Cumberbatch (1997) states that the novelty of the Bobo Doll may have impacted on Bandura’s findings. Cumberbatch found children exposured to the Bobo Doll previously illustrated five times less violence compared with those test subjects who were familiar with the doll. Children may have perceived the Bobo Doll as merely a toy with its intention to hit it, kick it and show aggression towards it. According to Bar-on (2000), aggression is behaviour aimed with the intention of injuring or harming another living being who is driven to evade …show more content…

(1961) social learning findings, Bar-on (2000) argued a link between biology and aggression existed. The developmental stages of the participants in the study were all below the age of eight years old. According to Bar-on, the frontal lobe of children at this age is not fully developed and hence, the test subjects would not have been able to differentiate between fantasy and reality. Similarly to Cumberbatch (1997) findings, Bar-on states Bandura et al. (1961) experiment lacks ecological validity. Bar-on further argued the study did not take place in a natural ‘real life’ setting and thus his conclusions fail to be credible. In addition, Sharon & Woolley (2004) view that when dealing with complex issues such as children, violence and crimes, no one reason for aggression exists. Furthermore, they explained the role of biology, environmental and social issues are significant when taking into account the reasons violence amongst children occur. Subsequently, Bandura et al. claim that if exposed to aggression children will model aggressive behaviour, fails to consider the multiple causes that children model aggression, such as the biology of children and the natural setting that the experiment was conducted in. When attempting to understand the reasons that violence occurs in children, it is significant to recognise in today’s society, no one single source is the basis for aggression in

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest has graphic violence that may seem pathetic compared to the media of the 21st century American society. Violence can affect children and adolescents up to the age of 18 mentally, physically, and socially. As Zena Rudo, senior researcher at the American Institutes for Research with 35 years of experience, infers through her research, “Social learning theory suggests that violence exposure has effects on children's behavior through modeling and the positive and negative reinforcement of aggression... and through the development of coercive parent--child interactions” (94). Children exposed to violence can begin to behave aggressively and develop unhealthy relationships with their parental figures. Detrimental

This essay will discuss the role of ecological validity in psychological research, drawing on material from the DE100 textbook ‘Investigating Psychology’. It will begin by giving a description of what ecological validity is, and consider it in relation to different examples of research. The research used to discuss the role of ecological validity will be based around social learning and aggression, behaviourism, and memory. Firstly the study of Bandura et al. will be considered, his experiments on children copying violent behaviours using the Bobo doll experiment.

In the filed of biology psychology, it is said that there are 3 areas of the brain that are mainly involved in our aggression and violence behavior, which are the hypothalamus, the frontal lobes, and the limbic system. Morley and Hall(2003) have investigated o how the human genes have an influences on their criminal behavior. In their research, they have found a positive relationship between criminal behaviors and genes. Brunner et al(1993) conducted an research on a Dutch family, the result showed that some of the family members from the Dutch family with tendency of aggressive behavior turned out to have mutation occurring in their monoamine oxidase A, a type of neurochemical in the brain. Therefore, we tell say that aggressive behavior is somehow related to human brain structure.

There are several theories that show the thinking of children. Social learning theory explains the aggressive attitude of someone who learned through the research of others who have an odd attitude. Through this theory introduced by Albert Bandura, 1973, states that children who observe adults commit violent acts will be easily swayed by such acts than those children who have no experience of exposure watch violent action. The study also explains how Social learning theory emphasizing aggressiveness as something that can be learned or trained through the observation of the behavior of other individuals who have an odd attitude. For example a football fan who sees others to act violently, either through television or while watching a football game will mimic the treatment.

There are those who argue that it has long and short-term adverse impacts on the social lives on young children and adolescents while others declare that not all effects are detrimental. Therefore, the debate continues as more research is done on the issue. In spite of the many debates, there is sound evidence documenting the damaging effects of media violence on the society. It has been argued that, children who are exposed to violent media become aggressive and violent at some point in their life (Markey, Charlotte, and Juliana 293) Therefore, media violence has a severe effect on the lives of

The evidence is proved by the two studies: Bobo doll experiment by Bandura and the natural experiment conducted by Charleton. It is very practical in its ability to be applied in real life situations. The social cognitive theory can be applied to explain many things such as aggressive behaviors and how behaviors can differ in different cultures. Concerning the construct validity, this is hard to observe and measure because we cannot be certain what actually causes aggressive behaviors. The theory is unbiased, however, looking at the studies, they are both done on children.

As a young child begins to mature, the different types of movies he or she may watch will affect how they behave. Violent films, are a prime example of this concept. Studies by George Gerbner, Ph.D., at the University of Pennsylvania, have proven that “children 's TV shows contain about 20 violent acts each hour” which supports the claim that these violent acts can correspond with how a child perceives the world (“Violence on Television” np). Psychological research also have shown that if a infant is exposed to violent movie, they may “...become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others, be more fearful of the world around them, and be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways toward each other”
