Modeling theory posits that people learn how to act by watching others. Modeling theory has also been applied to violent behavior seen on television. Today's television shows and video games contain a lot of violence. Apply modeling theory to the violence depicted in the cartoons of several decades ago. Would people display violent and aggressive tendencies after watching the coyote fall off the cliff in Roadrunner cartoons? What about after watching Elmer Fudd shoot Daffy Duck? Those cartoon were very violent. Did they influence behavior?
