Final answer:

While Albert Bandura's Bobo doll experiment primarily demonstrated the impact of an adult's behavior on children's aggression, it did not specifically highlight gender differences in aggression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert Bandura, along with colleagues D. Ross and S.A. Ross, conducted significant research on aggression, particularly in children. Their famous Bobo doll experiment showed that children's aggressive behavior could be influenced by observing an adult's behavior towards the doll.

In the wider research field, studies such as those by Alegria et al. (2013) on antisocial personality disorder and by Anderson and colleagues on the impact of violent media provide broader contexts for understanding aggression and suggest that there are indeed gendered patterns in aggression, in behavior and possibly in responses to media.
