Albert Bandura on Aggression - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 176 Aggression/Bandura: Bandura, Ross, and Ross (1961)(1) made a tremendous contribution to understanding learning by demonstrating that aggressive behavior could be learned even in the absence of any rewards and solely by observing the behavior of an adult model. Cf. >Aggression/Behaviorism, >Experiment/Bandura, >Aggression/psychological theories. Slater I 178 Instead of conceptualizing learning as being limited to behaviors that were directly reinforced or punished, Bandura and his colleagues demonstrated clearly that it was possible to learn new aggressive behaviors solely through imitation, with no reinforcement or punishment attached to the behaviors for either the adult models or the child. 1.
