Captain Judgment and his team land on a fictitious island of NELLA where the natives are acting aggressively (hurling mud with a huge catapult) at a neighboring island. As Captain Judgment analyzes the situation, he deduces that the NELLANS may be misperceiving what the other tribes intentions are—they think the MADATIANS dont like them and have released snakes (Natus) all over their island. This coincides with the goals of session 13 in the Coping Power program where aggressive youth are helped to appreciate the different perspectives of a problematic situation and apply a more adaptive perspective to their own social situations where they typically respond in an aggressive fashion. Such misperceptions are characteristic of highly aggressive youth as they often enter situations with a chip on their shoulder, anticipating and perceiving others actions towards them as hostile.
