In his famous Bobo doll experiment in 1961, Bandura demonstrated that young children would imitate an adult model’s violent actions. In the experiment, children were shown a film, in which an adult repeatedly hit a giant, inflatable balloon doll. After viewing the film clip, children were allowed to play with a real Bobo doll, just like the one they saw in the film. The research proved, that the children who had seen violent behaviour in the film clip were violent with Bobo doll; as opposed to other kids, who had not seen the film clip. This proves the point that children’s behaviour largely depends on the culture surrounding them. This research raises the question on the impact of violent movies, television programmes and video games on children
