Behavioural theory. Conditioning. We learn everything.
Operant conditioning: reinforcement and rewards. Learning by observation and seeing the model rewarded reinforces the behaviour. So a child watching another child drawing on a wall. If the child is rewarded in some way, the child watching will most likely copy this behaviour

I agree, Bandura's Social Learning Theory of Aggression (1987 I think) is a good example of this type of study.

Hannibelle, I gather you've just done the first Psychology AS exam too then?
