A study examines whether children imitate a model more when the model is perceived as warm and nurturing. Children watch one adult model speak kindly while demonstrating how to calmly put toys away, while another adult model speaks harshly while demonstrating the same steps. Later, children are asked to clean up. The researchers focus on modeling effectiveness rather than the specific content of speech. Which outcome is most consistent with observational learning principles?
