process of observational
learning”.

27. Method
• A lab experiment was used, in which the
independent variable (type of model)
was manipulated in three conditions:
• Aggressive model shown to 24 children
• Non-aggressive model shown to 24
children
• No model shown (control condition) - 24
children
30. GROUP 1
AGGRESSIVE MODEL
• 24 children (12 boys and 12
girls) watched a male or
female model behaving
aggressively towards a toy
called a “Bobo doll'.
• The adults attacked the Bobo
doll in a distinctive manner -
they used a hammer in some
cases, and in others threw
the doll in the air and
shouted "Pow, Boom."
31. GROUP 2
NON - AGGRESSIVE MODEL
• Another 24 children (12
boys and 12 girls) were
exposed to a non-
aggressive model who
played in a quiet and
subdued manner for 10
minutes (playing with a
tinker toy set and
ignoring the bobo-doll).
32. GROUP 3
CONTROL MODEL
• The final 24
children (12
boys and 12
girls) were used
as a control
group and not
exposed to any
model at all.
38. • Children who observed the aggressive
model made far more imitative
aggressive responses than those who
were in the non-aggressive or control
groups.
