What was Albert Bandura's Bobo doll study, and what was the primary finding?
What will be an ideal response?
Bandura was a learning theorist who studied the impact of observational learning. His Bobo doll research of the 1960s centered on how children learned various novel, aggressive responses towards a large Bobo doll after observing models being reinforced for novel, aggressive responses. The resulting outcome was that although the children were not directly reinforced to behave in any particular manner, when left alone with the Bobo doll, they displayed the novel, aggressive responses toward it.
