adult(model) kicking and
punching bobo doll.
1) Children saw the model
being rewarded.
2) Children saw the model
being scolded for
aggressive behaviour.
3) The model was neither
punished nor rewarded.
5. Can you predict the

behaviour and
rewarded…
Scolded for showing the
aggressive behaviour..
Showed more
aggressive behaviour
than the model.
Even found new ways
to hit the doll.
Not shown the

(children become more aggressive
and violent when exposed to such

previously learned behaviour.
May encourage previously
forbidden behaviours.

similar behaviour.
8. Elements of social learning

Mental
focus or
concentrat
ion.
Willingnes
s of the
