Document Summary
Walter mischel: best known for his work on delayed gratification [the marshmallow test] Intra-individual, situation-behaviour profiles for verbal aggression: plotted the data from 2 kids. You can readily see that the 2 kids both show aggressive behaviour and maybe if you aggregated across, they"d have the same mean level of aggressive behaviour but different situations are eliciting their behaviour. Same situation [how much verbal aggression sally showed when being teased by camarades tommy. Vs by jamie: brown bars = if sally showed a score on 10 when teased by. Tommy, how much verbal aggression will she show when teased by a camp counselor: what we can see is that the within [grey] correlations are much higher than the across [brown]. In the prosocial talk for this situation not many kids will show prosocial talk when being teased by a kid.
