5 Content Analysis (June 2013) 2 b) Burt was worried that his content analysis may be subjective. This means that: (1) A Burt conducted the study in an artificial situation. B Burt made sure he recorded everything he saw in the video game. C Burt s opinion of aggressive behaviour may be different to someone else s. D Burt did not repeat his study to see if the findings were the same a second time. (c) Burt s friends were interested in his conclusion and they asked him whether other video games contained the same amount of aggression. What would Burt have to do to answer this question? (1) A Study how people play video games in a natural environment. B Check that he recorded his results correctly. C Study a greater variety of video games. D Observe children playing video games to see if the children become aggressive. (d) Burt felt that a content analysis was a good research method to use to study aggression in video games. This is because: (1) A he collected data about people behaving aggressively in real life B he was able to record how much aggression is viewed C he could prove that children become aggressive by playing video games

6 Ramirez: Culture and aggression (June 2012) 1. e) Describe the results and/or conclusions of Ramirez et al. (3) 1.f) Outline one possible weakness of Ramirez et al s study (2)

(1) A Laboratory experiment B Field experiment C Natural experiment (b) Which of the following statements are true or false about the techniques used in Williams study? Put a cross in the correct box to indicate whether each technique is either true or false. (3) Technique True False Children were tested in laboratories to see if they became violent after playing video games.
