d. boys are more likely to imitate a male models physical aggression than girls are

Answer 1

Bandura, Ross, and Ross's research indicated that boys are more inclined than girls to mimic a male's physical aggression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The research by Bandura, Ross, and Ross showed that boys are more likely to imitate a male model's physical aggression than girls are. This finding was part of their influential work on observational learning and aggression, particularly involving the famous Bobo doll experiment, where children would imitate an adult behaving aggressively towards the doll. Cultural and socialization factors, such as those observed by Carol Ember in Kenya, also contribute to differences in aggression between boys and girls, further complicating the understanding of gendered behavior.
