1 of 8
Brendgen Application
Study suggests importance in targeting + reducing physical aggression in young children in order to reduce aggression development later on.
2 of 8
Brendgen Reliability
The teachers rated the kids using a questionnaire with a 3-point scale. Kids rated peers by circling photos from a booklet- easily replicable.
3 of 8
Brendgen Validity
The Study used teacher and peer ratings, which gives the findings greater validity especially as there was moderate concordance between the ratings for social and physical aggression for both groups.
4 of 8
Raine Generalisability
Had 82 participants taking part in the experiment- representative of the target population.
5 of 8
Raine Reliability
PET scans were used and can be interpreted objectively by more than one researcher (inter-rater reliability)
6 of 8
Raine Validity
Internal validity may be limited- as researchers said themselves that the PET scan results were particularly unclear.
7 of 8
Raine Application
Study has very important implications for the type of sentencing given to NGRIs and to what degree they are responsible for their actions.
