What was Albert Bandura’s conclusion from his 1961 Bobo doll experiment?

  1. That aggression is largely learned through observation and imitation
  2. That aggression is largely innate, but is fostered by environment
  3. That aggression is a result of unhealthy same-sex relationships in childhood
  4. That males and females are equally inclined towards aggression, but social pressures impact each group’s expression of the trait
Explanation

Answer: A - The Bobo doll experiment demonstrated that children exposed to aggressive behavior with no adverse consequence were far more likely to show aggressive physical and verbal behavior. He concluded that observing aggressive behavior in a same-sex adult had a more significant impact than in an opposite-sex adult. He also concluded that males tend to be more aggressive than females based on the quantitative results of the study.
