Albert Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment Results
The results of the Bobo doll experiment demonstrated that children's imitation of a model's aggressive behavior was contingent on the consequences the model received. When children observed the teacher being punished for her actions, their tendency to act aggressively decreased. In contrast, when the teacher's aggression was either praised or ignored, the children imitated the behavior, replicating actions like punching and kicking the doll, and even repeating what the teacher said.

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.
