Detailed explanation-1: -Bobo doll experiment, groundbreaking study on aggression led by psychologist Albert Bandura that demonstrated that children are able to learn through the observation of adult behaviour.

Detailed explanation-2: -It was then possible to match the children in each group so that they had similar levels of aggression in their everyday behavior. The experiment is therefore an example of a matched pairs design.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bandura also studied a naturally-varying IV: (3) whether the child was male or female. This makes the study both a lab experiment and a natural experiment. It is a Matched Pairs design because the children saw different role models but had been matched on starting aggression.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -As the name suggests, the Bobo doll experiment is a scientific study that was conducted using the experimental method. To be more specific, the study utilized the between-subject design where the participants were divided into 8 experimental groups and 1 control group.
