Briefly explain the results of Bandura's social learning experiment with aggression and the Bobo doll

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: One group of preschool-age children watched a film of an adult playing aggressively with the Bobo doll, and another group watched a film of an adult playing calmly with Tinkertoys. Later, the children were led to feelings of frustration by being refused the opportunity to play with their favorite toy. Then they were given access to the Bobo doll and the Tinkertoys. As predicted, the children modeled the behavior of the adult. Those who witnessed the aggressive model were more aggressive when playing, while those who witnessed the less aggressive adult playing with the Tinkertoys were less aggressive when playing.
