The experiment was only short term - was very difficult to see the long-term affects on the children
The bobo doll may have been seen to be used for that purpose of violence3 anyway
Imitation and Identification were strong arguments for how individuals have copied behaviour

Conclusion                                                                                                                                   The findings support Bandura's (1977) Social Learning Theory. That is, children learn social behavior such as aggression through the process of observation learning - through watching the behavior of another person. This study has important implications for the effects of media violence on children.

> The experiment was designed to examine the role of a model on influencing an observers behaviour
> Bandura wanted to see if the influence continued once the role of the model was no longer present
> He had already documented this before but wanted to examine further
> This experiment was designed to challenge Skinners idea that reward and punishment will prompt or stop a behaviour automatically, he argues about reinforces and it is down to the individual to whether their behaviour is affected by the potential consequences

Children who had observed aggressive behaviour acted more aggressively. The boys acted more aggressively than girls. there was also a greater level of imitation of behaviour if the role model was the same gender as the ppts.

Sample                                                                                            Bandura tested 36 boys and 36 girls from the Stanford University Nursery School aged between 3 to 6 years old. They pre-tested the children for how aggressive they were by observing the children and judging their aggressive behavior on four 5-point rating scales. They then matched the children in each group so that they had similar levels of aggression, the experiment is therefore an example of a matched pairs design.

- 36 male, 36 female aged between 37 to 69 months, the mean age was around 4
- One half saw the aggressive role model the others saw the non-aggressive role model
- The groups were subdivided by gender
- Participants were put into a room to observe behaviour 1 at a time, a hammer and a doll were in the room and the confederate shouted abuse at the same time

Bandura (1961) conducted a study to investigate if social behaviors (i.e. aggression) can be acquired by observation and imitation.
