How do children learn aggressive behaviors? How much do we imitate the behaviors of others? Psych PhD Chris Cole and cohost Joseph Tajaran discuss Bandura’s Bobo Doll Experiment (1961) which tested whether children will imitate an adult physically abusing a “Bobo Doll.”
Follow-Up Research: How much does physical resemblance matter when it comes to positive role models? Our follow-up research explored people’s favorite fictional characters and their physical resemblance to them. Turns out, people look up to positive role models that look like them!
