Final answer:
True, during Bandura's Bobo doll experiment, children observed an adult model's behavior and were free to choose to play with other toys or interact with the Bobo doll. They tended to imitate the adult's behavior by kicking and throwing the doll, especially when the model was not punished.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Bandura's Bobo doll study, when the children who observed an adult model act aggressively towards the doll were placed in a room, they had a choice of actions. They could have played with the other toys available, including tinker toys, or interact with the Bobo doll. The results showed that children tended to imitate the aggressive behavior of the adult model when the model was not punished. The children kicked and threw the Bobo doll, imitating the aggressive actions and words they had seen, such as hitting and yelling at the doll. This experiment demonstrated Bandura's concept that children learn and reproduce behaviors by observing and copying models. Moreover, it implies that when the model is not reprimanded, the behavior is more likely to be imitated.
