A researcher wants to examine the relation between viewing television violence and behaving aggressively. He has participants decide whether they would prefer to view a violent or a non-violent television program, and subsequently records the number of aggressive behaviors they show in a competitive game. He finds that those participants that watched the violent show display more aggressive behaviors in the game. He concludes that watching the violent TV program caused the subsequent aggression.
