Question

In a replication of Bandura's Bobo doll study, children observe an adult model behave aggressively toward a doll. The children then observe another adult tell the model, "Good job!" The model received _____ reinforcement for behaving aggressively.

Answer 1

Answer:

The model received positive reinforcement for behaving aggressively.

Explanation:

• When a particular action is rewarded or complimented, the one who committed that action is motivated to repeat it over and over again in order to get rewarded or admired repeatedly. This process of rewarding or complimenting an action irrespective of its nature is referred to as positive reinforcement.
• On the other hand, if an action attracts a punishment, it is called a negative reinforcement as it is administered to refrain the individual from committing the same action again.
