This investigation was later extended in order to compare the effects of real-life and film-mediated or televised aggressive models on children's behavior.

Children in the cartoon-aggression group saw a film projected on a glass lenscreen in a television console. In this film a female model was costumed as a cat and exhibited aggressive behavior toward a plastic doll...

In the aggression-rewarded condition, Rocky, the aggressive model, appropriates all of Johnny's attractive play possessions and tasty foodstuffs through aggressive - domineering means.
