Question 2

Method

Answer 2

Laboratory experiment as the children were tested in a controlled setting and 2 IVs were manipulated
One IV was whether the ppt heard a social story or physical story (person or object)
The other IV was whether they heard a prosocial story (good deed) or an anti social story (bad deed)
DV was the rating given to the deed
