    Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
    It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
    This is another Doctor REACTS/Psychiatrist ANALYZES video of an old medical video. I'm looking at real footage from the FAMOUS Bobo Doll Experiment by Albert Bandura in 1961. This is one of the most famous psychological experiments that looked at whether children can learn aggression purely by observing and then imitating it.
    The ethics of experiments like this is dubious to say the least, and it has LOADS of limitations, but it did help with our understanding of how children develop based on their surroundings and early life experiences.

    When we talked about this experiment in my university my professor stressed the fact that nowadays an experiment like this wouldn't happen at least not like this. It's really interesting though and the course where this was a topic actually helped me understanding my nephews a bit more and maybe giving my family members a better outlook what they might need at their current state they are in (developmental stage). I'm studying to become an English and History teacher and at least in Germany you have to get credits in a few psychology courses, I really enjoy those courses.

    I’m more concerned about why we have “toy” versions of weapons. I grew up in a pro gun household, but my dad taught us to teach toy guns as if they were real, loaded guns (ie. we got in serious trouble if we pointed even a squirt gun at another person).

    I remember learning about this experiment in my psych classes in college. I was psych major and focused on child development. Bandura has been on my mind lately because he just passed away at the end of July, he was 95.

    It’s always amazing to me to rewatch the videos about this experiment and remember that children’s social learning through imitation was a novel scientific discovery so recently (beyond Vygotsky’s theories!). I’m halfway through my PhD in developmental psychology/ early childhood social learning, and i’ve been in this field for 6 years postgrad. These days, we are so far beyond this experiment with how much we understand about the way children learn social norms and behaviors from adults and peers that this study seems glaringly obvious (and severely unethical, of course! yikes!). it’s always good to see a reminder that the science had to start somewhere!
    I’m so glad i found your channel, and I appreciate your perspective on psyc & medicine, as well as your unique ability to communicate scientific concepts in an accessible way! idk how you have any energy left for this if you’re actively working as a Psychiatrist right now, but I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

    Psychotherapist-in-training here, and I just want to say that I'm so grateful for your channel. The way you break down information is not only digestible but gracious. I clicked the moment this video popped up because despite already being familiar with Bandura's work, your analysis is always insightful and well-articulated. Thanks for being an incredible psychoeducator.

    Stanford University is where Walter Mische was doing his marshmallow experiment on delayed gratification to. The anguish on those kids faces while they try not to eat the marshmallow is very relatable!!
    I do wonder if there has been any longitudinal study of the kids who attend this nursery!

    Hiya, thanks for uploading this! Fab video once again 🙂
    I studied the Bobo doll experiments last year as part of my degree. (I started an OU degree 2 years ago as my daughter was at uni... so, I thought, why not as
    I missed my university "boat" when I was young)
    It is a fascinating subject about how children learn from observing behavious of others. It is so often that I can hear and see a parent's attitude through the behaviour of a child, especially when the child feels disappointment or anger.
    I was so tempted to wite this response citing Bandura et al (1963) as one of my essays last year was littered with that!
    Thanks again!

    Other factors are attacking an unfeeling toy verses something living, like an animal, and the personality of the child can make a huge difference.

    Wow! I was not aware of these experiements. I volunteered at an orphanage that hosted kids that were taken away from violent families and one of the kids was so angry and aggressive all the time, it broke my heart. He was almost 2 and could not speak, but beat up all the kids and me when I approached him. I tried to creare a positive environment, created safe/quiet spaces for him in the common areas, offered to hug him when he was crying, but he was constantly kicking and beating others. This video makes me think he picked that aggression from his family and prabably will affect him for a long time. 🥺 I hope that by discussing these things more and more, people will become more aware of their impact on kids and be kinder in the future!

    In my a level psych class we learnt that adults used to let children watch violent media (tv, films etc) because they thought it would discourage them from repeating it. After Bamdura did this study, childrens channels and film ratings were introduced. Psychology is f*cking brilliant - although im a bit biased 😂

  • @ondrejvasak1054

    There is a strange hidden implication that when children imitate someone being aggresive towards a doll it automatically means, that they would imitate agression towards people in the same way. But is there actually any shread of evidence pointing to that? I would think it probably is the case in small children that have no concept of other people, but I have some doubts if that would actually be the case in older children.
    Also I have doubts if learning agression as a 3 year old actually translates into agression later in life. It might be the case of just pure immitation.
    If someone showed me a game of whack-a-mole and I immitated them, playing the game in the same way, does that really prove that I am more agresive than others, or anything at all about me except that I can follow instruction on how to play a game of whack-a-mole?

    Aggression is not the act itself, but is the whole scene.
    I mean what is aggressive here is the reaction that the adult chooses as a reaction when he is angry or frustrated (or at least when the child thinks the adult is angry or frustrated).
    The same game of kicks, only in the context of joy and calmness, will not lead to violent.

    My problem with the connection of this to video games and tv is that those forms of media checks and balances. They are rated with their contents in mind, whether that be PG/PG-13 or Teen/Mature, and no young child should have access to the money, transportation, or adult permission to get games outside of their age and maturity. Nor should children be left with ease of access to TV if they are susceptible to what they witness. However, there is nothing in place to protect the children from their own family, from their parents, legal guardians, or siblings. Anyone can have a child and do what they please in the comfort of their own home. Time and time again have there been individuals that go on to commit atrocities and it was discovered that during their developmental years they were subjected to sexual abuse which leads to a twisted view of sex, physical abuse which leads to a desire for control, mental and emotional abuse which lead to dependency on harmful subjects or persons. These experiments only go to show, imo, just how crucial it is to protect our young. They are the future, and the fact anyone can have and influence this future, in terms of parents and teachers, is horrifying and telling.

    I've never been able to take this "study" seriously. I just cant. The bobo dolls are painted to LOOK LIKE TOYS. This is seriously the same thing as saying a 3 year old that knows what a pinata is WANTS to kill Dora the explorer just because they know that if they smack the pinata enough times, candy falls out. No child (or adult) knows what a pinata is before they understand how it works. All of us had to be shown. That's called learning.
