Question

Bandura's"Bobo doll" study of social learning and aggression (a) exposed children to a videotape in which someone either played nicely with toys or played aggressively with them, and then (b) measured how often children behaved aggressively toward an inflatable doll (i.e., how often they hit it) in the playroom afterwards. A valid criticism of the study is that:
 
a.
The study was unethical due to the harm caused to the inflatable doll.
 
b.
There was no independent or dependent variable.
 
c.
The study did not use an operational definition of children's aggression.
 
d.
It may be hard to generalize these results to what we really care about--children's behavior with other children in the social world.
