Girls always imitated the adult model’s behaviour, whereas boys did not imitate the adult model’s behaviour.

Detailed explanation-1: -Boys were more likely to imitate same-sex models than girls. The evidence for girls imitating same-sex models is not strong. Boys imitated more physically aggressive acts than girls. There was little difference in the verbal aggression between boys and girls.
Detailed explanation-2: -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 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-4: -Which statement is TRUE regarding Bandura’s Bobo doll experiments? Boys and girls were similarly aggressive toward the Bobo doll if they were given positive incentives and they saw the model rewarded.
