The Bobo Doll Studies
Captions available
The idea
In Bandura's Bobo doll research, children who watched an adult model act aggressively toward a doll imitated that aggression.
In practice
A later study found children imitated less when the model was punished than when rewarded.
Where people slip
The model was an adult, and the rewarded-and-punished comparison comes from Bandura's nineteen sixty-five study, not the first.
