Group 1 watches a non-violent show, then measure aggression. Group 2 watches a violent show, then measure aggression. Group 3 (control) watches no tv, and the measure of aggression. The existence of a control emphasized the affect on independent variable. Every body participates in everything, everybody is tested together.

His claim is inaccurate because: the data are based on self-report, the data are correlational, this is a case study, the variables are controlled.
