Albert Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment Methods
Preschool aged children were left in a room alone to view a video of an adult acting in a very aggressive manner toward an inflatable blow up doll. The children were split into three study groups: seeing the adult praised for their behavior, seeing the adult yelled at for their behavior, and a control group in which there was no reaction to their behavior. Next, the children were individually left in a room with an assortment of toys to see if they would imitate any of the behavior they previously witnessed.

Visual Documentation of the Bobo Doll Experiment
In an experiment, three groups of children watch a video of an adult model interacting aggressively with an inflatable doll. Group A sees the model being praised for the aggressive behavior. Group B sees the model being punished for the aggressive behavior. Group C sees the model's aggressive behavior receive no consequences. After viewing the video, which group of children is predicted to show the least amount of aggressive behavior towards the doll, and what is the most likely reason for this outcome?
In Bandura's Bobo doll experiment, researchers operationally defined physical aggression by observing children interact with a clown-shaped punching bag and counting specific aggressive acts over a ____-minute period.
