There are popular theories for how violent video games may
influence behaviour.
This study was anchored to “The Social Learning

Theory” according to Albert Bandura research into
observational learning in children and his development of
the Social Learning Theory has been at the root of several
arguments of video games causing violent behaviour.
CAVITE CAMPUS
According to Bandura, behavior is learned from the

environment through observational learning. With his Bobo
experiment, Bandura found that children would mimic violent
behavior after seeing an adult model such behavior. This
theory would suggest that playing violent video games would
inspire children to become violent, but there is much more
going on than simply observational learning and that is
where Bandura’s theory finds its limitations.
Statement of the Problem
