Which of the following is done by the children after they watch the video and have a chance to interact with the Bobo doll? Check all that apply. A) The children sit passively, apparently drained of their aggressive drive after watching the video containing aggression. B) They demonstrate an increase in attraction to guns, even though it is never modeled in the video. C) They come up with novel ways to hit the Bobo doll (including the use of another doll). D) They pummel the doll with a mallet, fling it in the air, kick it repeatedly, and throw it down and beat it. There was another interesting component to this experiment that is not illustrated in the video you just saw. After the children watched the woman acting aggressively toward the Bobo doll, they were shown one of three consequences for the woman's behavior. The children saw the woman receive either a reward, a punishment, or nothing. The children who observed the woman receive a reward acted out a large number of aggressive acts. Surprisingly, the children who observed the woman receive no consequence acted out the same large number of aggressive acts. Which of the following is a reasonable explanation for these surprising findings? Check all that apply. A) The children who saw the woman get away with her aggression received as much vicarious incentive as if they saw her receive a reward. B) The children who saw the woman being rewarded told the children who saw no consequence about the reward. C) The children who saw the woman being punished closed their eyes in response and did not observe the aggressive acts. D) The children who saw the woman receive no consequence observed the children who saw the woman receive a reward interact aggressively with the Bobo doll.
