Abstract

The present study examines the ANOVA results of a previous study (Wann and Wilson, 1996) and arrives at a different set of conclusions concerning the role of music video violence and locus of control on aggressiveness. Contrary to the previous report, there is evidence of a significant main effect of locus of control on aggressiveness. Although the analyses of the main effect of music video and the interaction were non-significant, the effect size data suggest that such effects would have been significant had the original study been larger. (N=28). Given the paucity of research examining the effects of music video violence on aggression, the reanalysis of tghe Wan and Wilson (1996) data suggests that carefully controlled experimental research in this are would be useful.
