25 Citations1968Richard H. Walters, Donna C. Willows
Disturbed and nondisturbed boys were exposed to 1 of 2 video-recorded sequences depicting a female model who played with 4 sets of play materials, indicating that the model films were effective for evoking imitative behavior.

21 Citations1967Richard H. Walters, Donald M. Amoroso
The results indicate that the non Conformity-conformity manipulation was an important determinant of the occurrence of imitative behaviour but that physiological arousal per se was relatively unimportant.

A significant conditioning effect occurred only for Ss with high need for approval in the vicarious reinforcement condition, and was related to previous verbal conditioning research.

20 Citations1969Mark H. Thelen, William Soltz
2 experiments were performed in which young boys observed a male model exhibit aggressive behavior and the results showed that subjects who observed the reinforced model imitated more, but not significantly so, than subjects who observation the nonreinforced model.

Exposure to a social model may result in a modification of sexually significant perceptual responses and evidence was secured that observers who are emotionally aroused and uncertain how to respond in a social situation are readily influenced by the behavior of a model.

No interpretable correlations were obtained between the amount of verbal imitation exhibited and the personality variables measured, and there was a significant increase in the critical response class, animal words, as the frequency of animal words spoken by the taped models increased.
