Unit 3 DB: Does viewing violence lead to violent behavior? (PSY101 Fundamentals of Psychology)

After viewing Bandura’s original video from his 1961 study above, complete the following for this discussion:

  • Explain      the basic concepts demonstrated in this study in regard to observational      learning.
  • Based      on the video and your reading, do you believe that violence in television,      media, or video games likely promote violent behaviors according to the      principles of observational learning?  Please share your thoughts and      examples.
  • Additionally,      discuss your own real-life example of the concept of observational      learning by sharing an incident either witnessed personally or through the      media.
  • Discuss      how observational learning differs from theories of learning that      emphasize “conditioning” (classical conditioning and operant      conditioning).  Use the example of how aggressive behavior may result      from conditioning.
