TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Developing and validating an experience sampling measure of aggression: the Aggression-ES Scale JO - Journal of interpersonal violence A1 - Borah, Tridip Jyoti A1 - Murray, Aja Louise A1 - Eisner, Manuel A1 - Jugl, Irina SP - 886260518812068 EP - 886260518812068 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Experience sampling methodologies are likely to play an important role in advancing our understanding of momentary influences on aggression, including short-term antecedent psychological states and situations. In this study, we evaluate whether a newly developed experiencing sampling measure of aggression, the Aggression Experience Sampler ( Aggression-ES), provides a valid and reliable measure of aggression in experience sampling contexts. Participants were a convenience sample of 23 young adults recruited from the local University community. Data were collected using an experience sampling smartphone application over 8 days. They were analyzed using multilevel structural equation modeling. Our results support the within- and between-person reliability and the criterion validity of the Aggression-ES. The Aggression-ES represents a good choice of measure for use in experience sampling studies of aggression. Further work in other samples will help to provide further validity evidence for the measure.
