In the Bobo doll experiment, who did the children watch to learn behaviour?
Another child
A cartoon character
An adult
A teacher
Answer
The Bobo doll experiment demonstrated that children learn aggressive behaviors by observing adults. In the experiment, children watched an adult hitting a Bobo doll, and they were then more likely to behave aggressively towards the doll themselves. This suggests that children learn by imitating the behavior of adults, and that it is important for adults to model appropriate behavior for children.
