- The children were tested for how aggressive they were before the
experiment.
- Their aggression level was judged using a 5-point scale.
- The children were then matched for aggression levels that were
already present in the children.

- 24 children watched either. Male or female role model (adult) being
aggressive towards to bobo doll- they either hit the doll with a
hammer or just threw it around shouting words like ‘’boom’.
- The other condition the children watched either a male or female
non-aggressive role model with the bobo doll- they played around
the doll with. More calm toys such as a tea set.

Stage 2 (aggression arousal):
- All of the children were taken into a room (separately) with lots of
toys and were allowed to play with them for a few minutes however
