Study was done with 198 elementary school children. There were total 28 (boy and Girl) puppets used. Each child watched interaction between two (boy & girl) puppets where one puppets showed a preference for a moral behavior and the other puppets showed a mean behavior. After each show a child was asked which puppets he prefers. They simply pointed to the one they liked. Next, the child was asked “are you more like boy/girl or a little boy/girl puppet?” pointing to moral and immoral puppets. Their response was scaled for little, more or no choice for both moral and immoral responses. Children’s Parents completed the aggressive-with peers subscale from the Child Behavior Scale (CBS) measuring their child aggressive behaviors. Parents were asked to answer a sequence of descriptive questions about their children’s behavior. Their statements were based on a 3 point response scale by choosing either 1 for the behavior that does not apply to their child, 2 for the behavior that applies sometimes and 3 for the behavior that certainly applies. Higher sore indicated higher level of aggressive behavior of a child. The sample of descriptive items include “my child fights with other children.” And “my child taunts and teases other children.” To see the parent child relationship, participants completed the Network of Relationship Inventory (NRI) to assess a broad range of relationship
