Detailed explanation-1: -Bobo doll experiment demonstrated that children are able to learn social behavior such as aggression through the process of observation learning, through watching the behavior of another person. The findings support Bandura’s (1977) Social Learning Theory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bandura and his colleagues believed that the Bobo doll experiment demonstrates how specific behaviors can be learned through observation and imitation. According to Bandura, the violent behavior of the adult models toward the dolls led children to believe that such actions were acceptable.
Detailed explanation-3: -Results. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Albert bandura’s classic Bobo doll experiment showed that children readily imitate aggression when they see it modelled by adults. Studies suggest that children and adults may inclined to mimic aggressive behaviours seen in TV shows, movies, video games, and on the Internet.
