Question

​ Kim is a daycare worker. She recently decided that the children would no longer be allowed to watch Batman on TV because so many kids were getting into fights on the playground after watching this cartoon. What best explains why watching Batman would influence the children to fight on the playground?

Answer 1

Answer:Social learning will have an influence on children.

Explanation:

Social Learning Theory:

This theory states that we learn through interaction, observation,imitation and modelling.

When people observe other people's attitudes , behaviour and the results of those behaviour they are likely to imitate the behaviour, they will encode the action that they favour the most from those behaviours and later retrieve this information to repeat the same action.

When children see that Batman's actions as a superhero saves lives of people they may find themselves fighting against those children they consider to be bad on the playground in order to reign as superheros themselves.

Answer 2

Answer:

Imitation

Explanation:

Children's behavior can become out of control when children try to imitate aggressive or violent behavior watched on TV, in this case Batman. Children's play becomes chaotic play as kids submerge in aggressive roles after watching TV. The problem here is that preschoolers sometimes do not distinguish between good and evil. They copy what they see and hear. They copy adults' behavior and they sometimes reproduce the same words adults say. It may happen that after watching Batman, the kids do not pay attention to the good values of this superhero, such as "you do not need to have special powers to be a hero", "you have to fight evil and administer justice". On the contrary, they seem to be interested in copying what villains do.

Becoming superheroes may allow children to access to a sense of power not experienced before. The key is then to balance such sense of power.
