The important research question is: Do we learn our aggressive behaviour from big unless it an be refined other people? This is a very big question stripped down to a core that allows us Ross (196 specific assertion. Bandura, and to test 963 did just that in a of experiments that are regarded as classics (the Bobo doll studies) n the experiments, some children observed an adult playing with some t he stormed into the room and hit a doll (the Bobo with a large rubber hammer, and then kicked and shouted at it other children saw the adult playing quietly with the toys. In another phase of the experiment, the man was either seen to be rewarded by the experimenter or not. The children then had a chance to play with the same toys. They were more likely to imitate the man's behaviour when he had been rewarded for it. This occurred whether they had seen the man on a video or in the flesh. Further, the effect was found irrespective of whether the person watched was reai or a comic character, These experiments stripped the big research question down to a manageable and specific question: Do children emulate the aggression exhibited by a model that they have observed if the model has been rewarded for being aggressive and they are subse- quently placed in the same context as that model? The answer to this question becomes part of the answer to the bigger question.
