The Bobo Doll

Mind Changers

Available for over a year

Claudia Hammond presents a series looking at the development of the science of psychology during the 20th century. She revisits the first experiment to broach the subject of how children respond to TV and computer game violence. Albert Bandura's ground-breaking Bobo Doll experiment in 1961 first alerted the world to the dangers of imitative behaviour.
