Albert Bandura’s Bobo Doll Experiments Posted by The
Situationist Staff on April 18, 2008 From Wikipedia: The Bobo
doll experiment was conducted by Albert Bandura in 1961 and
studied patterns of behaviour associated with aggression.
Additional studies of this type were conducted by Bandura in
1963 and 1965. A Bobo doll is an inflatable toy that is
approximately the same size as a prepubescent child. This
experiment is important to psychology because it was a precedent
that sparked many more studies about the effects of viewing
violence on children. For details, click here. For another post
