In the experiment, a video of an adult behaving violently to a Bobo doll (inflatable,​ egg-shape balloon doll with a weight in the bottom part) was shown to three groups of children. The end of the video was, however, different for each group. The first video ended with the adult being rewarded for the violent behavior, in the second video he was punished for it, and in the third no consequences of his behavior were shown. After that, the children were let to play with the doll. The results showed how children imitated observed behavior, both boys and girls (although boys in greater percentage). The behavior was mostly imitated by the children from the group where violent behavior was rewarded in the video. As Bandura assumed, behavior was most likely to be adopted if it's result is observed as valuable.+Most famous Bandura'​s experiment is the **//Bobo doll experiment//​**,​ conducted in two forms in 1961(([[http://​psychclassics.yorku.ca/​Bandura/​bobo.htm|Bandura,​ A., Dorothea Ross, and Sheila A.
