The Bobo doll experiment was the name of the
experiments conducted by Albert Bandura in 1961 and 1963 studying children´s
behavior after watching an adult model act
aggressively towards a Bobo
doll. There are different
variations of the experiment. The most notable experiment
measured the children's
behaviour after seeing the model get rewarded, punished or experience no
consequence for beating up the bobo doll. This experiment is the empirical
demonstration of Bandura's social learning theory. It shows that people not only learn by being rewarded or
punished itself (behaviorism ), they can learn from watching somebody being
rewarded or punished, too
(observational learning). These experiments are
important because they sparked many more studies
on the effects of
observational learning and they have practical
implication e.g. how children can be influenced
watching violent media.
