Theory Expansion

Well, while the title might suggest I would go on about my Book of Theory (new entry, by the by) but I'm not. Recently in class, we discussed different theorists and their social theories. And while each theorist has a good point of view (for the most part), I noticed that a number of the theorists don't seem to have followed through all the way on their theories.
Lets inspect my theorist, Albert Bandura. He looked into behavioural theories with how they work and how positive/egative/no reinforcement can influence/change behaviour in children.
The best example conducted in this field was the Bobo doll experiments, or behavioural experiments. First off, a child was shown the 'model' beating up a Bobo doll (aka punching doll, hit it as much as you want, it won't fall) on a video, then led into a room with a Bobo doll, other toys, a hammer (as used in te video) and a toy gun. The children proceeded to attack the Bobo dolls in the same manor as the model. The cildren who had not been expossed to gun use either didn't use the gun, or didn't use it for its primary purpose. It also encouraged violent behaviour when playing with other toys.
In the second experiment, there were three groups shown three different videos. The model attacked the Bobo doll as always, but the ending was different. The model was either praised, punished or recieved no conciquence for their behaviour. The kids who saw praise attacked their Bobo dolls, the kids who saw the model be punished didn't attack, and the neutral gorup were either unmotivated or attacked the doll. However, it was noted that the children who saw the punishment were offered positive reinforcement (praise) were then happy to attack the bobo doll.
My problem with the last experiment is that it wasn't followed through on (according to my sources) because there is no mention of offering negative reinforcement to the positively enforced children, nor to find out which motivational would effect the neutral group more. I'm rather disappointed, because I'd be interested to see the results.
The expansion of this theory would be a lot of interest in the way it could change childhood behaviour. Can negative behaviour that is positively reinforced be turned around with either negative reinforcement or demonstrations of good behaviour that is positively reinforced? Why these thoughts and experiments (for lack of better terms) not been followed. Could we resolve a lot of childhood and adolesance behavioural problems or would we be where we are now anyway? It'd be nice to know.
Well, after everything was said and done, there is still a boosting of understanding in how the human psyche can be designed (somewhat) for a better future.
Anyway, that theory aside, I better go get a few things done. Ciao for now,
