- 1Bandura 1961 - Bashing BoboAim: Too see if aggressive behaviour made by adults, watched by children affects the children to be more aggressive
Method: Bandura set out to demonstrafe children. More specifically, the study was guided by the following predictions: Subject exposed to aggressive models will reproduce aggressive acts resembling those models.The observation of subdued non-aggressive models will have a generalized inhibiting effect on the subjec't subsequent behaviour. Subjects will imitate the behaviour of a same sex model to a greater degree than a model of the opposite sex. Boys will be more predisposed than girls towards imitating aggression.
Results: The children who saw the aggresive model made more aggresive acts than girls.
Boys made aggressive acts than girls. The boys in the aggresive conditions showed more aggression if the model was male than if the model was female. The boys in the aggressive conditions showed more aggression if the model was male than if the model was female. The girls in the aggressive conditions also showed more physical aggression if the model was male, but more verbal aggression if the model was female.
The girls in the aggresive conditions also showed more physical aggression if the model was male, but more verbal aggression if the model was female.
The exception to this general pattern was the observation of how often they punched Bobo, an in this case the effects of gender were reversed.
