    The study evaluated the relationship between aggression in children and exposure to violent media. It had strengths of being replicable in a natural setting with high ecological validity. However, it was a correlational study so no causal relationship could be determined. Additionally, it only looked at children of a mean age of 11.3 so other ages were not accounted for, the ways aggression was measured were unclear, and it did not specify the gender of the children studied. The evaluation notes the study had high ecological validity due to the natural setting but was limited to only 15-year-olds and could not determine cause and effect.
