In One of Bandura's Early Studies, One Group of Children

Multiple Choice

In one of Bandura's early studies, one group of children watched an adult model being rewarded for being aggressive toward an inflatable clown, while a second group watched the model being punished for the same aggressive behaviours. Immediately following the session, the children were allowed to play with the inflatable clown. Later, the children were offered a reward for reproducing some of the behaviours they had seen the aggressive models exhibit. What were the findings of this study?

A) The group who had been vicariously punished for behaving aggressively would not perform the aggressive behaviours, even when offered a reward.
B) Both groups gleefully demonstrated the aggressive behaviours they had observed immediately after the first session.
C) Neither group would imitate the aggressive model unless offered a reward to do so.
D) The group who had been vicariously punished for behaving aggressively did not initially imitate the aggressive behaviours of a model, but, when offered a reward, they showed that they could.
