Abstract
MARTIN, MARIAN F.; GELFAND, DONNA M.; and HARTMANN, DONALD P. Effects of Adult and Peer Observers on Boys' and Girls' Responses to an Aggressive Model. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1971, 42, 1271-1275. 100 children 5-7 years old individually observed a model depicting a unique sequence of aggressive behavior. Subsequent ratings of the children's imitative and total aggressive responding during solitary free play or with an observer present indicated that: (1) boys displayed more aggressive behavior than did girls in all observer conditions; (2) peer observers facilitated aggressive responding; and (3) subjects' aggressive responding increased from beginning to end of the free play session when a permissive adult was present.
