Question

Gio asked his older brother Jake to assemble his new toy.

Jake couldn't figure out how to assemble it, so he threw the toy on the floor, stepped on it, and left the room.
Gio then picked up the toy, threw it against the wall, and stepped on it again.

Based on Bandura's theory, which of the following statements is not true?

Gio's inborn aggressions caused this behavior.

Gio modeled his behavior after Jake's behavior.

Gio's behavior is a result of his social environment.

Gio observed and imitated behavior he thought was acceptable.

Answer 1

Gio's inborn aggression caused this behavior

Explanation:

This is the answer because it says which of the following are NOT true. Compared to Bandura's theory this is the correct answer because it is not true.

Answer 2

Gio's inborn aggressions caused this behavior.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Social Learning theory was theorized by Albert Bandura in 1977. According to this theory, Bandura asserted that behavior is learned through conditioning and cognitive theories.

Bandura asserted that children observe the behavior of people around them and models their behavior. This imitation, in return, would be either reinforced or punished by their models.

In the given case, Gio imitated his brother's behavior of throwing the toy and trampling upon it. According to Bandura theory, Gio's response was not because of his inborn aggression but imitation.

So, the statement that is not true according to Bandura's theory is the first statement.
