Answer to Question 1

Answer:
The basic idea being studied is whether modeling by an adult will have an effect on the behaviors of the children who watch the adult being aggressive toward the doll. The moderator notes that the aggression toward the doll is not cathartic, making reference to the frustration-aggression hypothesis notion that aggression helps people let off steam (catharsis). The moderator notes that the child uses similar hostile language toward the doll without any prompting. There was no gun used in the modeling, but when a gun is available, children readily use it as a way to show aggression toward the doll. Bandura's whole point is that, if aggression is modeled for the child, the child will imitate it as part of his or her social learning.
