The dependent variable in Bandura's observational learning work is most likely whether children mimic the model's aggressive behavior, as this is the behavior that is being observed and measured as a result of exposure to the aggressive model in the film. The other options are either independent variables (whether children see the film, whether the model behaves aggressively) or extraneous variables (whether children are allowed to play with the doll after the film).
