Question

 In a study on television violence and aggression, researchers measured the TV viewing habits of 3rd grade males (preference for violent TV shows) and their levels of aggression; and then revisited the men 10 years later and measured the same variables. They found these zero-order correlations:

 

Aggression G3

TV G3

Aggression Y18

Aggression G3

1.0

.65

.45

TV G3

 

1.0

.5

Aggression Y18

 

 

1.0

 

a) Suggest an operational definition to measure TV show preference for violent TV shows at Grade 3 and at Year 18.

b) What is going on if the partial correlation of TV G3 and AGG Y18 with AGG G3 held constant is .09? How do you know this?

c) What is going on if the partial correlation of AGG G3 and AGG Y18 with TV G3 held constant is .06? How do you know this?
