prosocial effects on observational learning
-Behavior modeling enhances learning of
communication, sales, and customer service skills in
new employees.
• Modeling nonviolent, helpful behavior prompts similar
behavior in others.
• Research on viewing prosocial media increased later
helping behavior.
• Socially responsive toddlers who imitate their parents

preschoolers.

Antisocial effects on antisocial behavior
-Abusive parents may have aggressive children.
• Children who are lied to become more likely to cheat
and lie.
• Many men who abuse their wives had wife-abusing
fathers.
• Repeated exposure to hate speech may lead to
