[Audio] Hypothesis Subject exposed to aggressive model would reproduce aggressive acts resembling those of their models compared to subjects in non-aggressive and no-model condition. If a behaviour is not observed, it cannot be imitated. Boys will copy male model more than female and girls will copy a female model more than a male model. Boys will be more likely to copy aggression than girls. Here’s a script you can use for the slide on hypotheses: "Let's look at the hypotheses for this study. First, we predict that subjects exposed to an aggressive model will reproduce aggressive acts similar to those of the model. This would be more likely compared to subjects in non-aggressive or no-model conditions. The second hypothesis states that if a behavior is not observed, it cannot be imitated. This aligns with the idea that we learn by watching others. Third, we think there will be a gender-based difference in imitation: boys will imitate a male model more than a female one, while girls will imitate a female model more than a male model. Finally, our fourth hypothesis suggests that boys will be more likely to imitate aggressive behavior than girls. Each of these hypotheses will help us understand the influence of observed behaviors and gender on imitation.".
