Observational Learning

  • Consider the process of observational learning, i.e., observing and modeling another individual’s (especially a valued model’s) behavior, attitudes, or emotional expressions. What are the implications of observational learning for the violent media (e.g., TV, movies, video games) to which we and our children are constantly exposed. Does watching violent media make us more violent? Why or why not? What about music with violent messages? Can music make us act or say things we normally wouldn’t?
