702 Citations1963Albert Bandura, Dorothea M. Ross +1 more
Results from the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance indicated that imitation was significantly influenced by response-consequences to the model (rewarded versus punished p), and additional research should be implemented in which the difference between performance and learning can be better assessed.
