Psychologist (Bandura) carried out an experiment on
the relationship between media images and
behaviour.
Bandura concluded that violent media
content could lead to imitation or copy cat violence
(Note: research supports the HSM).
Sociologists criticise Bandura and the use of
experiments for researching the effects of media
violence on audiences as they involve putting
participants in artificial situations. This questions the
validity of such research as how do we know that the
children’s behaviour was not affected by knowing they
were observed.
