A data frame with 224 rows and 3 variables:

violence: Independent variable with two levels - nonviolent or violent
difficulty: Independent variable with two levels - easy or hard
aggression: Aggression score, rated from 0 seconds to 80 seconds in 10s increments

Hilgard (2015) asked male participants to play a video game for 15 minutes. The game was customized so that it could vary in violence (shooting zombies or helping aliens) and difficulty (targets controlled by tough AI or dumb AI). After the game, players were provoked by being given an insulting evaluation by a confederate. Participants then got to decide how long the confederate should hold their hand in painfully cold ice water (0-80s in 10s increments), and this was taken as a measure of aggressive behavior.

This is a simplified data set from Hilgard (2015). You can find the materials and analysis plan for this study on the Open Science Framework: https://osf.io/cwenz
