According to the Bobo doll studies conducted by Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1963, the group of children who watched an adult model attack a Bobo doll was:
a. not as aggressive as those who watched the attack on television.
b. half as aggressive as those who watched the behavior of a filmed cartoon character.
c. as aggressive as they were before.
d. twice as aggressive as those in the control group.
ANS: D
FEEDBACK: In Bandura's studies, preschool children watched an adult hit and kick Bobo. When the children were left alone with the doll, they modeled their behavior after the example they had just witnessed. Their behavior was compared with that of a control group of children who had not seen the model attack the Bobo doll. The experimental group was found to be twice as aggressive as the control group.
