“…This limitation reflects more general concerns raised about laboratory measures of aggression, such as the TAP, in which the balance of affective and cognitive factors may be unique (Ferguson & Rueda, 2009; Tedeschi & Quigley, 1996).

Despite these criticisms, our results demonstrate that even under controlled circumstances, our predictions were still supported.…”
