Sai wants to replicate an experimental condition from the study by Bandura et al. (aggression) and needs your help. You must produce clear instructions for Sai, from when a child in the experimental condition arrives at the experimental room until the child observes a model assembling the tinker toys. Suggest instructions that Sai could use to replicate this part of the study.

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Feb/Mar 2020). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

1. One mark per correct instruction.
2. You must bring in each child individually (to the experimental room);
3. You must invite the model to join in a game with the child;
4. You must take the child to the corner of the room which looks like a play area (this will already be set up);
5. You must allow the child to sit at the table;
6. You must then demonstrate how the child can make pictures from potato prints/stickers;
7. You can then leave the child to produce their pictures;
8. You must get the experimenter to (initially) stay in the room so the child cannot leave;
9. You must take the model to the opposite corner of the room (to the child);
10. You must make sure the corner contains a table, chair, mallet, tinker toys and Bobo Doll (two named for mark);
11. You must explain that the toys in this corner are for the model to play with/tell them not play with them;
12. Once the model is seated you must leave the room.
