Problem
*b. A researcher counted the number of aggressive encounters among children who were playing with worn and broken toys. Next, the children watched other children playing with new, shiny toys. Finally, the first group of children resumed playing with the worn and broken toys, and the researcher again counted the number of aggressive encounters. (For a classic experiment on this topic, see Barker, Dembo, and Lewin, 1941.)
