Results also indicate that knowledge about the behavior is associated with awareness of occurrences and consequences to the aggressor, but not with consequences to the victim. Together, these results should have implications for regulations regarding television violence and mediation of relational aggression.</p> 2008 English text Cleveland State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1230825303 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1230825303 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
