At the beginning of the semester, participants filled out the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI; Buss & Durkee, 1957) to assess their trait level of hostility.
Approximately 6-10 weeks later, these participants were recruited to participate in the comic book study. Research assistants, blind to the participant’s trait hostility scores, randomly assigned participants to one of two conditions: Extremely Violent and Mildly Violent. Participants in the extremely violent condition read comic books with a high degree of violence and aggressive themes. Participants in the Mildly violent condition read a relatively nonviolent comic book. participants were told that the researchers were developing measures for two separate studies on children and that we need their input to help develop appropriate measures. First, participants read their assigned comic book and completed the Comic Book Rating task. Then, as a separate assessment, participants read and answered questions about a series of relational provocation stories. For this task, participants were asked to respond to the questions as they thought a 10-year-old would respond. The Relational Provocation Stories task is a type of projective test. Thus, participants’ responses should reflect their current state of mind, with regard to hostile/non-hostile perceptions. Whereas some participants will respond negatively, others will respond neutrally or positively. The affect/positivity-negativity associated with participants’ “child-like” responses are in fact projections of the participants’ current cognitive/emotional state. At the same time, this line of questioning should maintain the pretense that the researchers were developing experimental measures for children. Finally, participants were asked a series of questions about their own experience with comics books using a Comic Book History Form.
