The Bobo Doll Experiment - Albert Bandura on Social Learning

It’s like what they told me when I was younger, we’re sponges. We absorb what’s around us. Or what’s the other saying? “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.”

I thought we settled on the question of incentives vs learned behavior, and what remains is the sociological question, as old as philosophy of the primacy of the enviroment/culture or genetics/self-first regarding learning as in vygotsky vs piajet that bandura bypass by proposing a third way which is not really theoretically robust enough as the piaget vs vygotsky paradigms/research projects

[@conniedilinila6351]

History had already documented for thousands of years that parents and guardians of children, have witnessed children in all types of environments, good, bad, and the ugly, imitate those behaviors for which they have been exposed to.

Perhaps this is because I'm a former drug addict but my first thought was this is why kids in poverty situations tend to emulate drug dealers. They seem to be getting ahead in spite of their negative actions. I have to add to that rappers. They glorify all the negative stereotypes and act like they got ahead because of it.

[@edi9892]

It's not just rap where this life choice gets glamorized... It's bad, but I think it's worse how we are raised to be materialistic and judging. This creates so many mental problems. Even if you're smart, studious and come from a rich and kind family, everything can fall apart in an instant and then you judge yourself and think that you deserve it because you're a failure...

Groundbreakingly shit experiment that somehow people think was valid... Like seriously, think a bit. The doll was a toy intended to be punched. Showing a kid how to use a toy, and them then using it, does not prove aggression. I punched a punching bag as a child because that was what a punching bag was FOR. Not because I was aggressive. It was an experiment from a time where education was severely limited and flawed.

[@linostoe]

@@pagatryx5451 well u might be right. But the actual highlight of the experiment was the fact that certainn phrases used by the adult that were not know to the kid like 'sock him in the face!' or' drag him to the floor' were used and the child repeated these words! It proves that children do pick up certain things. I like ur thinking however :)

Hi there, I am a lecturer at the University of South Africa and would like to know if I can provide my students with a link to some of your video clips? It is for educational purposes. Thank you

[@SSLollipops]

As a Filipino I found it interestingly disturbing.. I didn't research much about this but in Philippine language.. 'bobo' is a word use to refer someone as 'dumb' or 'uneducated' -- someone who doesn't know anything or just doesn't know alot. I don't know when Filipino started using the 'bobo' word but during the Spanish colonization they spread the words 'tonto', 'stupido', 'mal educado' and 'ignorante'. I was thinking of majoring Psych when I was in college but the reality of learning the mind of another human operates differently from the 'normal' or acceptable, I'm prettysure being a very sensitive and emotional person I will probably drop out of the course. Esp using kids or exposing them to possible trauma.

[@yashaswinib.836]

So i just had an epiphany as a psychology student...bandura said u remember the observed behaviour..and later u imitate it if required... That's something what tolman said about latent learning.. that u learn the behaviour but u don't perform it until u found the motivation or incentive .... (p.s. Correct me if i am making wrong connections here)

[@danielmoore4024]

Yashaswini B., This video doesn't cover all from Bandura's experiment, Bandura concluded that the social learning is a combination of the learning, cognitive, and biological approaches in psychology. In the experiment more males were aggressive compared to females showing biology and cognitive matters may play a role in social learning, like there's gender expectations of females being less aggressive and more soft, gender expectations could prevent a female choosing to exercise aggression in front of people. Something not mentioned in the video is an expansion of B.F. Skinner's work called "vicarious reinforcement", they may observe the behaviour of another but whether they imitate it or not can depend on the consequences they see the other person face. If the consequences are judged as worth facing it can reinforce them to imitate the behaviour. Acknowledging cognitive matters is what separates the social learning approach from classical conditioning and operant conditioning in the behaviourist approach.

[@signofthecrimes1534]

@@danielmoore4024 this is such a good point i wish i could use it in my psyc paper

[@rosstuition]

I have recently observed the behaviour of contestants on an actuality programme called "Britain's got talent". In the programme there are outakes of contestants behaving badly when they are informed that their performances are sub standard. The failed contestant is punished by the disaproval of the "stars" on the judging panel. I feel that these contestants are punished further for their bad behaviour by being published on Utube and observed by many people. Maybe this is asking too much of Bandura but could this situation, described above, not be very damaging to the cotestant?

[@danielmoore4024]

Ross Metcalfe, This video doesn't cover all of Bandura's evaluation, in the evaluation he concludes social learning is a combination of the learning, cognitive, and biological approaches to psychology. The reactions of contestants sound like they root from their way of thinking (cognitive approach). The behaviors they react with had to of being learned in one way or another (learning approach). Genetics have an influence on behaviour as Bandura's experiment in the video didn't include that he noticed while most males were aggressive, most females were not (biological approach). Whether the situation is damaging depends on the individual.

[@Lilian-ew2of]

I have a question 🙋‍♀️ what are some of the behaviors in the experiment

[@danielmoore4024]

Lilian, No matter which behaviors they used, whether the behaviour was imitated or not has a lot to do with their thoughts about what they were observing. This video is very brief, we can see "Social Learning Theory" occuring out in society day after day, Bandura made 4 main concepts; • Imitation • Identification • Modelling • Vicarious Reinforcement The video explained neither Identification nor Vicarious Reinforcement. It's observed people are more likely to imitate the behaviour of people they identify themselves with, like we see in society males imitating males, and we know "Similarity" is one of the two main factors of who we are attracted to. We see people seem more attracted to their own age group for example. Albert Bandura concluded that The Social Learning Theory is a combination of the behaviourist, the biological, and the cognitive approach in psychology. Then psychology shows us The Social Learning Theory is connected to two forms of conformity, compliance and identification. We see out in society people will temporarily adapt to the majority to fit the social norm even if they disagree with it, that's both compliance and social learning. This is what separates Bandura from Pavlov (Classical Conditioning) and B. F. Skinner (Operant Conditioning), neither Classical nor Operant Conditioning acknowledge cognitive matters while Bandura's work shows the children were making conscious decisions by seeing 4 main factors; • Attention • Retention • Reproduction • Motivation While in Classical and Operant Conditioning there's only positive and negative reinforcement, in the SLT there's "Vicarious Reinforcement". The difference is while positive and negative reinforcement is done directly to a person, vicarious reinforcement is where the observer will see the consequences of someone else's behaviour and if they want to experience those consequences they may imitate the behaviour, and if they don't want to face those consequences they're less likely to imitate the behaviour. I'm going to get more scientific now with biology that supports Bandura's work. During the first 7 years of our lives we didn't have enough brain capacity to have a conscience, ask yourself, how could we be conscious when we had nothing to be conscious of? During those first 7 years of life we lived by theta/hypnosis, we just observed all that's around us and were taking it in and we communicated with the actions we were able to imitate. Is there a rule book in every culture of how to socialize? No. Since there's no rule book, how did you learn the social expectations of your cultural norm? During that first 7 years you were observing and taking it in that that's what you became conscious of.

[@MiyuwiTV]

This vid has so little comments for the views and so little view for its subs

[@wc0424]

Ok. I have a question. Why is it still unclear as to whether or not media has an affect on children's actions? If the live model and the movie model both had the same influence and outcome (regarding the children's behavior) isn't that enough evidence? A second question: Are there still psychologists doing bobo doll-esque tests, or are they unethical now (such as the famous Stanford Prison Experiment)?

[@PhrontDoor]

The reason is because there is a point at which you become inured to such influences, OR should be. For instance, if you thought that the media has an affect, THEN clearly the people making the movies or game-testing the video games, or the twitch streamers SHOULD be the most violent. We see, however, this is clearly NOT the case, so media isn't the issue.

[@pagatryx5451]

No. The experiment didn't prove anything. You really don't need to be a genius to see possible flaws with it... The bobo doll was a toy intended to be punched. By showing a kid how to use it, they will use it. It proved nothing on aggression and is pretty much disregarded by modern science completely. I mean, just replace the doll with a normal punching bag. Would a kid using a punching bag after adults did, or after they were portrayed in a cartoon, PROVE socially transmitted aggression? Of course not.

[@annamaegold]

How was this research ethical? Modeling bad behaviour, making children frustrated. I'm not sure if I would want to subject my children to this kind of research.

[@Geva9]

Remember: this was back when they weren’t even sure if modeling and social learning existed. This is also the same time period when we were developing ethical standards in research, so in today’s standards, probably not ethical, AND this is how we learned WHY it’s not ethical.

[@annamaegold]

@@Geva9 Good point.

[@captivatedespiritu]

Having read a large compendium of Bandura's work and watched videos of his experiments, I find the recap wonderful, yet simultaneosuly biased. Was it noticed? Given that this is "practical psychology"it seems ironic that the characters drawn to showcase the negative aspects of the Bobo Doll experiments were colored grey or with dark shading to appear as People of Color. Further, psychologically, the mind is prompted to think Caucasian/White children watched Black or Brown people punch the doll, per the drawing - which is untrue. See the link below to get a glimpse of one of Bandura's actual experiments. The child and mother in the opening example, (including the first child, the model who was said to punch the Bobo Doll), the child/person drawn to match the comment "nobody picks their parents," an observer, and the grey colored man being scolded by another seemingly Caucasian/White man in the reinforcement example. Perhaps I am the only person to notice this however, I doubt it. Do better Practical Psychology. We depend on you to get it right. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6Kxkn-bp7KBhac

Isn’t a bobo doll meant to be hit? And if they watched an adult hit it prior just to prove the kid will doesn’t seem like brilliant psychology to me.

[@kcb5336]

@Seph X I understand. I just don’t understand why this is thought to be some great psychological revelation. Seems like common sense that I’m sure was common sense prior to this Show a kid to hit, give them something to hit and they hit then suggest you’ve figured out some kind of big thing about human behavior.
