Abstract	Research into children's responses to constructive and aggressive behavior in a television drama is provided. This study is also reported in related document SO 008 573. A 22-minute action-adventure television program depicting an intense interpersonal conflict was edited into two versions. In one version the hero responded with physical aggression and in the other with constructive nonviolent efforts. Fourth, seventh, and tenth graders viewed one of these versions or a wildlife documentary. They were then given an opportunity to either "help" or "hurt" a peer who was completing a task. At all three grade levels, children who had seen models of constructive coping showed greater frequency and duration of prosocial responding than subjects in other conditions. The results indicate that viewing modeled constructive responses to provocation enhances general prosocial responding and inhibits aggressive behavior. (Author/DE)
