Document Summary
Bandura et al (1961) - slt - bobo doll. 1. wanted to see if children would imitate aggression modeled by an adult. 2. they wanted to know if children were more likely to imitate same-sex models. Participants children aged 3-6 years (36 boys and 36 girls) In the first and second groups some children watched same sex models and some watched opposite sex models. Children were placed in a room with toys. Very soon, they were taken out of the room being told that those toys were for other children and they were put into the room with bobo (prime aggression) Found that the children who had observed the aggressive models were significantly more aggressive-both physically and verbally. Girls were more likely to imitate verbal aggression and boys were more likely to imitate physical aggression. Girls showed more verbal aggression when shown a female model and more physical when a male was the model.
