    He collected data on the time adolescents spend playing of video games (Vid_game: number of hours per week spent playing of video games), aggressive behavior (Aggress: continuous scale 9-82) and whether youth scored below or above average on insensitivity and emotionless traits (Caunts_d: below average = 0; above average = 1). average = 1).

    Below are the results of a correlation analysis in which first the correlation between aggressive behavior and time spent playing violent video games is shown for the whole group. Then two separate correlation analyses were done for youths who scored below-average and those scoring above-average on insensitivity and emotionless traits .

    Caunts_d = 0:

    Caunts_d = 1:

    Based on these results, what statements can we make for this sample?

    1: Among those who score above average on insensitivity and emotionless traits, there is a stronger positive relationship between the degree of playing violent video games and aggressive behavior than among those who score below average on insensitivity and emotionless traits.
