Bobo Doll Experiment

May 9, 2015 — Leave a comment

Having to engage in research into the Social Cognitive Theory for my Pop-Culture group presentation, I came across the experiments of Albert Bandura…in particular, his experiments with the bobo doll.

 

Upon reading and watching the experiments, my memory was sparked and reminded of the electoral in which Brian touched on these experiments and their importance into how messages are subliminally received by the audience.

 

This idea behind the cognitive ramifications of messages has altered the way in which I perceive certain media artefacts and has prompted me to continue in my own personal research on the topic.

 

For those of you who have yet to witness the experiments:

Drawing near the end of its cycle, Semester 1 of 2015 has found its ground and managed to compile a plethora of different assessments that require my undivided attention and engagement, which are all due in the same week.

 

This pile of work ahead leaves me to retreat to the all too familiar battle grounds of the State Library of Victoria. A solemn place where people either come to expand their mental horizons in a tranquil, quiet state or to (like myself) battle the ever amounting work load that seems to only bury them for extended periods.

 

Knowing the battlegrounds quite well, I have managed to secure a table in the quite room and can now attempt to get a grasp on the struggle that is no doubt ahead.
