Aggression QNA
Aggression QNA
Textbook answers:
1) If the time interval was too large the observers may have
missed important behaviours which occurred between intervals
and if the interval was too small it would be difficult to record
such difficult behaviours
2)a) the non-imitative verbal responses
b) the mean aggressive behaviours
3)a) all of the children in both experimental groups saw a model
for the same length of time and children were all exposed to the
same materials/behaviours in the same order. Also, the
observation period and time interval were the same for all
participants
b) Standardising the procedure means the research was more
valid- the researchers could be sure that the difference in results
between conditions were due to the differences between the
models- and more reliable, because each child within a condition
experienced exactly the same exposure
