1. The Bobo Doll Experiment was performed in 1961 by Albert Bandura 2. He try to add credence for his belief that all human behavior was learned, through social imitation and copying, rather than inherited through genetic factors. 3. These findings are still debated about over 40 years later. 4. Television, computer games, music and the lack of role models portrays in media are cited as reasons for a supposed breakdown in society, and an increased tendency towards violence. 5. During the 1960’s, there was a lot of concern and debate about whether a child’s development was down to genetics, environmental factors or social learning from others around them. 6. For this purpose, Bandura designed the Bobo Doll Experiment to try and prove that children would copy an adult role model’s behavior mostly what they watch in tv. He wanted to show, by using aggressive and non-aggressive actors, that a child would tend to imitate and learn from the violent behavior portrays for certain drama and film like power rangers. RESULTS of bobo doll esperiment The results for the Bobo Doll Experiment showed, as expected by prediction one, that children who were exposed to the aggressive model were more likely to show imitative aggressive behavior themselves. Prediction was proved correct in that boys were nearly three times more likely to replicate physically violent behavior than girls.
Bandura found that girls were much less likely to be physically violent, but were equally as prone to verbal aggression as boys. This is something often encountered in society, where bullying at school, by boys, is more often of a physical nature; intimidation amongst girls tends to be more verbal and social. Another refinement of the Bobo Doll Experiment, in 1965, tried to establish the effects of rewarding or punishing bad and violent behavior. Children, who witnessed the model being punished for aggressive behavior, were much less likely to follow suit. Interestingly, there was no change in aggression when the model was rewarded for bad behavior.
