IV's:
Sex of child; sex of model; and behavior of model.
DV's:

Experimental Observation:
Split into 3 stages in order to achieve aggression arousal.
Stage 2: Aggression Arousal
The children are taken to a separate room to play with shiny new toys. After a while, the child is told that the toys are special and for the other children.
Observing adult models acting aggressively has the effect of weakening aggressive inhibitors in children, therefore making aggressive behavior more likely.
