Bandura (1961, 1963) Bobo Doll Study
Bandura Bobo doll (1961/1963)
Real World
In Bandura's 1961 study, children who watched an adult punch, kick and shout at a Bobo doll reproduced these specific acts — including novel verbal phrases like 'Sock him!' — far more than control group children.
Exam Focus
Cite the year (1961 or 1963) and the specific finding; vague references to 'children copying' will not earn methodology or evidence marks.
