Detailed explanation-1: -Conclusion. 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: -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-3: -Bandura concludes that behaviour can be learned by imitation even if it hasn’t been reinforced (as Skinner suggested). In fact, complex patterns of behaviour can be learned through imitation without needing reinforcement for each part.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the 1960s, psychologist Albert Bandura and his colleagues conducted what is now known as the Bobo doll experiment, and they demonstrated that children may learn aggression through observation. Aggression lies at the root of many social ills ranging from interpersonal violence to war.
Detailed explanation-5: -What was the conclusion made In Bobo Doll Experiment? The results proved Bandura’s Social Learning Theory to be true, and that children learn social behavior through observational learning.
