A psychologist wants to find out whether watching aggressive behaviour affects how aggressive children are. She is deciding between a controlled laboratory observation, like the one used by Bandura, Ross and Ross (1961), and a naturalistic observation, like the one used by Charlton et al. (2000).
Evaluate the use of a controlled laboratory observation for the psychologist's investigation. You must refer to Bandura, Ross and Ross (1961) and Charlton et al. (2000) in your answer.
