oles. Thus, I reject the null hypothesis and I conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportions of children Aggressive Action Choice responses between bystander and victim story character roles. Thus, I conclude that children were more likely to choose Aggressive Action Choices when the story character role is a bystander than when the story character role was a victim. See Table 29. Table 29 CBVS Test and Confidence Interval for the Proportion of Bystander and the Proportion of Victim Among Children who Selected Aggressive Action Choices Sample ƒ n Sample p Bystander 86 316 0.272152 Victim 58 316 0.183544 Test of p = 0 vs. p ≠ 0 Difference = p (Bystander) – p (Victim) Estimate for difference: 0.0886076 95% CI (0.0235711, 0.153644) Test for difference = 0 (vs. ≠ 0): Z = 2.67 P-Value = 0.008 Fisher's exact test: P-Value 0.010 N = 632 responses Story Character Role and Justification Choice A Chi-Square (Ҳ 2 ) Test for Independence was used to determine whether there is a dependency between Story Character Role and children’s selections of Justification Choices. The significant Chi-Square (Ҳ 2 ) (2, N=632) = 8.01, p = .0182, Cramer’s V = .1126, indicates that there is a significant dependency between Story Character Role and Justification Choice. Therefore, I conclude that the frequency of Justification Choice responses is related to the Story Character Role. See Table 30. Tests for the difference in proportions were conducted to determine the frequency (ƒ) of children’s CBVS Justification Choice responses (Prosocial/Care vs. Aggression/Retaliation vs. 114
