What did the study demonstrate?
- That overall the males were less aggressive
- That overall the females were more aggressive

Why was the second stage in the study carried out?
- To arouse aggression in the children by frustrating them
- To enable the bobo doll to be re-inflated
- To measure the aggressiveness of the adults
- To measure the aggressiveness of the children
- To enable the experimenters to have a rest
What was a main strength of this experiment?
- The way that Bandura ensured that the procedure was as true to life as possible
