Question

Olivia is punished for spilling her cereal. Her parents give her a spanking and send her to her room where she cries. Later, her puppy makes a mess on the floor. Olivia kicks her puppy and puts it out in the yard where it whines sadly. How would Albert Bandura explain Olivia's behavior?

Answer 1

Answer:Olivia is modeling the aggressive behavior her parents demonstrated to her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert Bandura explains in social learning theory that people learn from one another and via observation, copying, and modeling. This theory explains that how people learn norms, practicality, and frame of mind to act in a particular situation.

In this case, also Olivia is exhibiting the behavior shown by her parents of punishing her for a mistake. Olivia kicks her puppy as she learns the same attitude from her parents to punish for a mistake.
