Procedure of:
Reicher and Haslams' Prison Study |
|
Definition
5 groups of 3. 1 = guard, 2 = prisoner (random)
conducted in London Film Studio
prisoners = head shaved, uniform with number, cell
guards = good meals, rooms, uniform, made the rules
video/audio recording, daily psychmetric testing |

3 Independant variables of:
Reicher and Haslams' Prison Study |
|
Definition
Cognitive intervention: add another participant with the skills to make a change
Permeability: possible for prisons to upgrade to guard
Legitimacy: led to believe that group roles weren't legimate |
|
|
Term
Results of:
Reicher and Haslams' Prison Study |
|
Definition
Prisoners identifed with role from start
Guards didn't and didn't oppose authority
when roles were impermeable, prisoners made group identity and challenged guards
day 6 - broke out of cell and stopped system
day 8 - new rules by new guards and study stopped |

Definition
Participants could only identify by speech or writing if stimuli flashed to right visual field
If flashed to left visual field - reported nothing or just a flash
Could only identify object using same hand |

Term
Procedure of:
Dement and Kleitmans' Sleep Study |
|
Definition
participants report to lab before bed
no caffeine or alcohol consumed that day
went to bed to quiet dark sleep lab, electrodes attached to head and face
awoken various times in night by bell, speak into tape recorder whether dreaming or not, for how long and content |
|
|
Term
Results of:
Dement and Kleitmans' Sleep Study |
|
Definition
More dream recall in REM than NREM (152:11)
More correct estimated dream length for 5 minutes REM (45/51) than 15 minutes REM (47/60)
correlation between pattern and content |

Aim of:
Bandura Aggression Study |
|
Definition
| Demonstrate that if a child has a passive witness of an aggressive display, then they would imitate this aggressive behaviour |
|
|
Term
Hypotheses of:
Bandura Aggression Study |
|
Definition
1) Children would be more aggressive when exposed to an aggressive model
2) Children would be less aggressive when exposed to a non-aggressive model
3) Children more likely to imitate same sex model
4) Boys more predisposed to aggression than girls |
|
|
Term
Method of:
Bandura Aggression Study |
|
Definition
Laboratory Experiment
IV = sex of model, sex of child, condition (aggressive, non aggressive, control)
DV = amount of Imitative and Agressive behaviour |

|
Term
Procedure of:
Bandura Aggression Study |
|
Definition
3 stages. 1 = child and model opposite ends of room of toys
model either act aggressive to bobo doll (hit with mallet,"pow"), or ignore it. 10 minutes
2 = child taken to room and told cant play with toys, reserved for other children (mild aggression arousal)
3 = taken to room of toys, observed for 20 mins, one way mirror, 5 second intervals |

|
Term
Results of:
Bandura Aggression Study |
|
Definition
Children in aggressive condition behaved more aggressively
Boys more likely to imitate male model aggressive behaviour
Girls more likely to imitate male model physical aggression, and female model verbal aggression, aggressive female confused children "not how lady acts" |
