HOW HE DID IT?



The kids would be shown a video of an adult hitting a
inflatable clown doll called the “bobo doll”. The
children then would be put into 2 groups. Group
1:was shown the adult being rewarded after hitting
the doll. Group 2:saw the beating but didn’t see the
adult get punished or rewarded.
He watched the kids from a different room and
observed their actions secretly. He realized that
children that watched the adult get rewarded were
most likely to show aggression. He also seen that no
matter what video was shown the boys were more
likely than girls to show the aggressive behavior from
the video.
