1 mark for outlining nurture plus 1 mark for example from Bandura.
e.g., Nature
Nature is about behaviours being genetically encoded and with us from birth ( 1 mark). Boys were more physically aggressive than girls as this could be due to them having higher levels of testosterone/due to hormones (1 mark).
e.g., Nurture
Nurture is about the learning of behaviours through experiences/after birth ( 1 mark). Participants in all conditions had already been matched on (pre-existing) aggression levels yet, for instance, male Ps were much more likely to imitate a physically aggressive male role model (1 mark). Ps were matched on levels of aggression (1 mark) and there were differences in levels of imitated behaviour depending on whether a model was aggressive or not, so learned (1 mark).
There are other creditworthy examples.

Ignore examples that are not from Bandura.
Do not accept tautological outlines, for example, nurture is about being nurtured.
