hypothesis and I conclude that there is a significant difference between the two proportions.
Thus, I conclude that children were more likely to select Aggressive Action Choices when the
Story Form of Victimization was relational than when the Story Form of Victimization was
physical. See Table 36.
Table 36
CBVS Test and Confidence Interval for the Proportion of Physical and the Proportion of
Relational Among Children who Selected Aggressive Action Choices
Sample ƒ n Sample p
Physical 59 316 0.186709
Relational 85 316 0.268987
Test of p = 0 vs. p ≠ 0
Difference = p (Physical) – p (Relational)
Estimate for difference: 0.0822785
95% CI (0.0171914, 0.147366)
Test for difference = 0 (vs. ≠ 0): Z = -2.48 P-Value = 0.013
Fisher's exact test: P-Value 0.018
N = 632 responses
Story Form of Victimization and Justification Choice
A Chi-Square (Ҳ 2 ) Test for Independence was used to determine whether there is a
dependency between Story Form of Victimization and children’s selections of Justification
Choices. The significant Chi-Square (Ҳ 2 ) (2, N=632) = 14.05, p = .0009, Cramer’ V = .1491,
shows that there is a significant dependency between Story Form of Victimization and children’s
Justification Choices. Therefore, I conclude that the frequency of Justification Choices is related
to the Story Form of Victimization. See Table 37 and Figure 6.3.2.
