Key evidence for the effects model

The BOBO DOLL experiment- The BOBO DOLL experimnet was apparently proved that children copy violent behaviour. The experiment was conducted by Alburt Bandura and in the experiment the children watched a video where an adult violently attacked a toy bobo doll. The children were then taaken to a room where they were not permitted to touch an yof the toys. The children were then taken to another room with bobo dolls and 80% of the children in the experiment imitated the violence they saw in the video. 8 months after the experiment 40% of the children repeated the same violence. There were many flaws with the experiment and its was found not to be correct.
