Abstract

The General Aggression Model (GAM) by Anderson & Bushman (2002) reveals the great depth of research on internal processes. Research on naturally occurring aggressive interaction episodes in specific material and social environments, however, is still largely lacking. How can information about environmental requirements and social processes relevant to aggression be acquired methodically? Based on an ambulatory assessment strategy, we discuss various apparatus‐based and direct observation strategies. Finally, we introduce an innovative methodology for recording in the field the environmental conditions in which aggressive behaviour arises, using the technical device of glasses with an inbuilt camera. Our investigations so far show that the camera‐glasses method is a promising new data collection technique that can be applied fruitfully in various fields of aggression research.
