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

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.
