Read Section B. Choose the best ending.
Bandura has studied child development all his life. He believes that children learn their behaviour by
observation. In other words, they watch and copy. He wrote about his ideas in Social Learning Theory in
1977. In particular, he thinks that children behave aggressively because they have seen aggression in adults.
Bandura’s ideas changed the direction of psychology, although some other psychologists disagreed with him.
They followed the theory of a much more famous person, Sigmund Freud. He said that children often
behave differently from the way their parents behave. For example, a parent who shouts at his child and hits
him might produce a very quiet and timid child.
The psychologist’s most famous work is called the Bobo Doll experiment. He first conducted the experiment
in 1961. A bobo doll is an inflatable doll about the size of a child. Bandura used 36 boys and the same
number of girls between the ages of three and six years old. Before the experiment, researchers grouped the
children on average aggression level.
The experiment involved three rooms. A researcher brought a child into the first room and then left. An adult
was sitting in one corner of the room. Sometimes it was a man and sometimes a woman. There were toy
building blocks, a hammer and a bobo doll in the adult’s corner. The researcher put the child in the opposite
corner of the room. There were many toys for the child to play with.
