Question

In Bandura's famous "Bobo" doll study, he had some children watch a woman aggress against an inflated doll, while other children did not watch an aggressive act. Bandura found that the children who watched someone beat up the doll were later__________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The experimental group (the children who watch the woman) were more likely to hit to doll than those who did not watch the act.

Explanation:

This experiment is a demonstration of Bandura's observational learning theories. It states that people learn through observation and imitation.

While other theories such as behaviourism stated that individuals needed reinforcements to act, observational learning explained that humans need models, such as a parent or teacher, as a important part of the learning process.
