Answer:

How much of what we do and feel is from other people?

Step-by-step explanation:

The controversial experiment "The Bobo Doll Experiment" conducted by Dr. Albert Bandura is based on the behavior analysis of how children were affected and influenced by what they see their elders do. This experiment is to observe how children learn aggression through what they observe.

In this experiment, children are put in different groups and made to observe some aggressive actions to the Bobo dolls while one group is not exposed to any. And the result was that the group that observed the aggressive scene acted just like they saw while the other group that did not observe any aggressiveness did not show any aggressive behavior. This proves that children are easily influenced by what they are exposed to.

This experiment was an observation to see how much of what we do and feel is a result of what we see and hear from others.
