Bobo Doll Experiment

In the Experiment:

• Children watched a video where an adult violently attacked a clown toy called a Bobo Doll
• The children were then taken to a room with attractive toys that they were not permitted to touch
• The children were then led to another room with Bobo Dolls
• 88% of the children imitated the violent behaviour that they had viewed. 8 months later 40% of the children reproduced the same violent behaviour
