2. The Bobo Doll Experiment was a name given to a group of
experiment which was conducted by Albert Bandura in 1961 and
then re-visited back in 1963, the experiment revolved around
children’s behaviour after watching adults model act
aggressively towards a Bobo Doll. There are were different
variations of the experiment which the most notable one was
see the adults getting rewarded, get punished, or experience no
consequence for beating the bobo doll. These experiment all
contributed to Bandura’s Social Learning Theory.
The social learning theory claims that people learn through
observing, imitating and modelling. It shows that people learn
through other ways than being rewarded or punished. It can also
be done through seeing someone be rewarded or punished.

aged between 3 and 6 which where put into two groups. One
group watched adults play with the doll in an appropriate
manner and play nicely whereas the group 2 observed adults

let into the same room as the first set of adults and they played
with the toys and the doll nicely and appropriately whereas
group 2 treated the dolls as they saw the adults treat them, the
children in group 2 treated the dolls aggresively, they
punched,threw and some pulled them apart.

4. SO HOW DOES THIS EFFECT THE MEDIA
INDUSTRY?
Violence has been a hot topic concerning influence over
children and their behaviour. There have been a variety of
children influenced by video games and violent movies and
conducted some horrific violent acts. One game which is widely
known and has had some bad press over the years is Grand
Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto is a game revolving around
violence in a fictional city Los Santos and throughout this game
there are missions which require killing someone or a group of
people, some say this game shouldn’t be on the market and
shouldn’t been sold full stop. But some say that parents
shouldn’t buy their kids games which will effect them mentally
and encourage them to do violent acts, there are a variety of
reasons people think games and films should be rated better or
have more requirements for you to buy the game/ film or see it.
