Following the rash of school shootings that occurred in the late 1990s, some individuals suggested that violent video games were making children and adolescents more aggressive.
Imagine that you obtained a sample of 150 15-year-old males and correlated their level of aggressiveness with the amount of time per week that they played violent video games.
The correlation coefficient was .56 (and statistically significant). Does this finding provide support for the idea that playing violent video games increases aggression? Explain your answer.
