Social Learning Theory: Bandura’s Bobo Beatdown Experiments

The video explores Albert Bandura's social learning theory, which suggests that learning can occur through observation, not just direct experience. Bandura's Bobo doll experiments demonstrated that children imitate behaviors they observe, regardless of whether they see them live or in media. The experiments also showed that reinforcement and punishment influence the likelihood of behavior imitation. Bandura's findings challenged existing beliefs about learning and had significant implications for understanding aggression and media influence.
