Does Vicarious Instigation Provide Support for Observational Learning Theories? A Critical Review.
Green, Gina; Osborne, J. Grayson
Psychological Bulletin, v97 n1 p3-16 Jan 1985
Examines the theories of Aronfreed, Bandura, Berger, and Hygge. Also reviews experimental evidence published since 1962 which supports theories of observational learning of emotional behavior. While the theories posit that different conditions are necessary to vicarious instigation, most research does not test the theories in any direct way. (Author/CB)
