Question

In a follow-up study to the original Bobo Doll experiment, Badura observed the process of vicarious reinforcement, where children behaved less aggressively when: a. aggressive models were punished b. aggressive models were rewarded c. non aggressive models were punished d. non aggressive models were rewarded

Answer 1

Children in the Bobo Doll study displayed less aggression when they observed aggressive models being punished, illustrating vicarious reinforcement in observational learning.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the follow-up study to the original Bobo Doll experiment by Bandura, vicarious reinforcement was observed when children behaved less aggressively after witnessing aggressive models being punished. Bandura's research into observational learning showed that children are less likely to imitate a model's behavior if they see the model being punished. This punishment can decrease the likelihood that the observer will replicate the aggressive behavior.

Answer 2

The non-aggressive model was rewarded

Explanation:

Bobo doll experiment was a famous experiment that was proposed by Albert Bandura in social psychology. In the vicarious reinforcement process, the behavior of a person is not only depending on the imitation but also depends on the positive and negative consequences of the behavior.

So that we can not only watch what the people are doing but we even can watch what people are doing and what is the result behind it. It is also called vicarious learning. People imitate that behavior more that is rewarded than the behavior that is punished.
