- Experiment
- Observational study, set up like a lab
- 66 nursery school children slit into 3 groups. Watched film of adult physically and verbally assaulting bobo doll
- 1st Group- No reward/punishment seen
- 2nd group- Adult was shown rewarded
- 3rd group- Adult was shown punished
- After film each child was given bobo doll and aggressive behaviour was recorded
- Findings
- Group 2 was most aggressive, 2 was least and the 1st had spontaneous acts of aggression
- Boys imitate more readily than girls.
- Evaluation
- Lack of ecological validity (doll not person, don't know long term effects)
- However other researchers- those violent were rated by teachers and peers as most violent
- Historical relativism- see more violence now (TV, Games)
- Ethics- aggressive after?
- Lack of ecological validity (doll not person, don't know long term effects)
- Experiment
