Behavioral Psychology - The "Bobo" experiment

submitted by Spiff

1 decade 6 years 5 months 3 weeks ago

In 1961 (with additional studies later), Stanford psychologist Albert Bandura conducted a study to test whether aggressive behavior in children can be influenced by role model behavior. It consisted of measuring the behavior of children before and after they had seen an adult abuse a "bobo" doll, a kind of inflatable punching toy. Though the experiment itself is debatably flawed in some ways, it was significant in bringing attention to the issue of the effect media violence might have on children's development.

When will punching bag clowns finally be free from our brutality?

Didn't this style of inflatable doll later become a popular child's toy? Was the doll already a popular toy before the experiment?

did thay try it with an adult bing nice specifcly to the clown and then seeing if thay coppy that ? maby if the adult was agressive to something else see if th ekids mirrored that. what if kids were shown equally amount of agressoin and non agressoin to an object ore agressoin to one object and not to another, probably just this clip but it would have been nice if thay had shown all aspects of it so that a actual conclusoin could be drawn by the audeance rather than them just taking what the nurator has to say as fact.

clowns deserv to be smacked its comanly known thay are all pedophiles.
