“…Second, if the study is deemed worth running, it is worth considering if laboratory aggression approaches represent the best methodological option. There are many operationalizations of aggression available, including self‐report measures of trait aggressiveness (Buss & Perry, 1992; Chester & West, 2020), self‐report of behavioral instances of aggression (Straus et al, 1996), ecological momentary assessment (Murray et al, 2020), informant report (Tackett & Ostrov, 2010), hypothetical responding to vignettes (Crick & Dodge, 1996), behavioral observation (Bandura et al, 1961), and structured patient chart review (Brown et al, 1979).
