Albert Bandura’s social learning theory is a well-known experiment with a Bobo doll which defines the social cognitive theory. Through this we will be able to learn whether aggression and violence are behaviors which are learned gradually. Analysis This is the famous experiment using a Bobo doll for analyzing the violent behaviors of the individuals. It helped to study the manner in which the children learned aggression. As per social learning theory, the learning happens within the children through observations and by communication with various people. The children observe other and try to imitate them. Further, the prediction of this experiment was to study if the aggression of the boys were more than the girls. In the experiment which consisted of two children were given two varied adult models. One model was aggressive and the other was non-aggressive. Now, post observing these models the children were being locked in a room where it was supervised if the children imitated the behaviors of the adult models or not. There were 36 boys and 36 girls chosen from the Stanford University Nursery School and the average age of the participants were 4 years and 4 months. There was total eight experimental groups of which 24 students were a part of control group who were not given adult models. The rest of the groups were divided into two groups consisting of 24 participants and each experimental groups were being exposed to the aggressive models and the rest 24 participant to models which were non-aggressive in nature. The results were that the children who were exposed to non-aggressive dolls behaved less aggressively than the ones in control group. The children given aggressive models imitated similar behaviors. The boys behave slightly aggressively than the girls in both the models. Hence, the researcher was able to correctly predict that boys’ behavior was more aggressive than the girls. The criticism of the experiment was that acting aggressively watching a doll will be much different displaying violence towards the other human beings in reality. Further, the research was conducted in a lab and hence the results may be biased. Finally, the data were collected instantly which makes it difficult to understand the long-term impact and the study might suffer from selection bias (Cherry, 2020). Conclusion Hence, it can be stated that Bandura’s experiment is a famous experiment in understanding the human psychology in social conditions. This experiment can be used by researchers in understanding if the violent behavior of children occurs from watching television, movies, playing video games in the real world or not.

Who conducted the study, who were the test subjects, and why was the experiment carried out? The Bobo doll experiment of the social learning theory was conducted by the Canadian social cognitive psychologist Albert Bandura at Stanford University. Between 1961 and 1963, Bandura studied children's behavior after they observed an adult acting aggressively toward the Bobo doll. The experiments involved 72 (36 boys and 36 girls) children from the Stanford University nursery school between 37 and 69 months. There are two groups, including the control groups. Children were exposed to the scenario individually. The experiment was conducted in three stages, 1) Modeling, 2) Aggression Arousal, and 3) Delayed Imitation. In stage 1, two groups were in the room with the adult model; one witnessed an adult aggressively punching the doll with abusive and harsh words, even observing the model crush the head of the doll mallet. The other group did not observe any aggressiveness. In stage 2, children were taken to another room with toys 10 minutes after being in the room with the model. After a bit, researchers came into the room and took toys away; then, the children were moved to another room with a bobo doll. This process was taken to make children frustrated to cause emotional change. In stage 3, the experiment assessed how children from two groups reacted toward the bobo doll. The experiment predicted that children who witnessed a model demonstrating aggression would act more aggressively toward a bobo doll. The other group that did not witness aggression would react differently to cope with frustration. What concepts or principles in social psychology were examined in this experiment? What ethical challenges or questions are raised by the study? This experiment brought a new wave to behaviorism, stating that learning only occurs with environmental factors and conditioning. However, Bandura’s social cognitive theory substantiates that learning can occur through personal, environmental, and behavioral factors. Although the experiment exhibited a significant result, it could be argued that the study was unethical due to manipulating children into behaving aggressively. What did the experimenters conclude based on the results of the study? The study discovered that the group of children exposed to the aggressive model were more likely to express aggressive behavior than those who were not exposed to the aggressive model. The results concerning behavioral differences between gender significantly satisfied Bandura's prediction that children are more influenced by models of the same gender. Results also showed that boys expressed more aggression when exposed to aggression from male models than female models. Are there other conclusions that you think could be drawn from the study results? I would not think there will be other outcomes from this study as I strongly support this result by witnessing my children's behavioral changes with environmental, personal, and behavioral factors. Do you think there were any biases or flaws in the design of the experiment? What is the potential impact of these flaws? Although I think the study result was well supported, this study may suffer from sample selection bias. All children (participants) were drawn from the same place, limiting the population's character with the same racial and socioeconomic background.
