Key Features of the Bobo Doll experiment; |

A study of Aggression; the Bobo Doll experiment by Bandura in 1961; |
Aim: To see wheter observing violence makes you imitate the violent actions. Procedure: Young children (3-5) observe the live models (adults) interact with Bobo. ALL CONDITIONS: a child was in a room with toys (Bobo). AGGRESSIVE: Model would scream and hit Bobo for 10 minutes whilst the child observed. PASSIVE: children were left to play. Results: Children who observed aggression ALL showed signs of aggression towards the Bobo Doll. Children who had a passive model played calmly. Conclusion: every child with the same sex model copied them and what all children saw they did which contradicts the initial predictions made by Bandura saying that we purge aggression whenever we see it. |
