Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Bandura's early research on modeling, children are likely to learn and imitate the behavior they see from their parents or other authoritative figures. In this case, if Mrs. Jones uses spanking as the primary method of discipline, her children are more likely to learn to hit others in similar situations as a means of resolving conflicts or disciplining others. This can lead to a cycle of violence and aggression.
