Answer Happy

Jane works in a child care center and is interested in the development of aggressive behavior. She has observed that there is more aggression in the toddler classes than in the preschool classes. She has concluded that aggression decreases as children get older. Which statement about Jane's conclusion is FALSE? Jane's evidence justifies her conclusion. Jane's conclusion is based on anecdotal evidence, and she should reject it until she compares her observations to scientifically collected data. Jane's observations suggest that there might be a correlation between age and aggressive behavior that is worthy of further study. Jane should conclude that the difference between toddlers and preschoolers she has observed may not exist in other centers. Factors other than age, such as individual differences in personality, may have contributed to the aggressive behavior that Jane observed among toddlers and preschoolers in her center.
