Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Bandura's now-classic demonstration of modeling involves the Bobo doll, an inflatable plastic figure about 4 feet tall. In Bandura's studies, preschool children watched an adult hit and kick Bobo. When the children were left alone with the doll, they modeled their behavior after the example they had just witnessed. The experimental group was found to be twice as aggressive as the control group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Through modeling, by observing the behavior of a model and repeating the behavior ourselves, it is possible to acquire responses that we have never performed or displayed before and to strengthen or weaken existing responses.
