Question

What was the Bobo Experiment and what were it's findings?

Answer 1

Ans : Bobo doll experiments were conducted between 1961 and 1963 by Albert Bandura.

In this experiment he tried to study the behavior of children who watched the adult models aggressively act towards Bobo doll.

The theory concluded that children learnt through observing the rewards and punishments that the adult model received in response to its bashing of doll.

So the experiments gave an important insight on the observation learning and showed how the behavior of children was affected by watching violent media.
