泰勒攻击范式（Taylor Aggression Paradigm，TAP）是一种常用的攻击性实验室测量方法。然而，其执行和分析中固有的灵活性可能会损害其有效性。为了测试TAP是否是一个有效的攻击措施，无论这种灵活性，我们进行了两个预注册的研究（研究1 n = 177，研究2 n = 167）的标准化版本的TAP。在这两项研究中，TAP评分与其他实验室攻击性指标一致，被实验性挑衅操作放大，并与通常与攻击性行为相关的特征相关。混合证据被发现的外部和判别效度的任务。个人的反应很大程度上加载到一个单一的组成部分，这表明聚合评分方法准确地代表了基本的数据结构。这些结果提供了初步的内部效度的TAP方法的支持，并突出了心理测量学研究中的预登记的效用。
The Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP) is a frequently used laboratory measure of aggression. However, the flexibility inherent in its implementation and analysis can undermine its validity. To test whether the TAP is a valid aggression measure irrespective of this flexibility, we conducted two preregistered studies (Study 1 n = 177, Study 2 n = 167) of a standardized version of the TAP. Across both studies, TAP scores showed agreement with other laboratory aggression measures, were magnified by an experimental provocation manipulation, and were associated with traits typically linked to aggressive behavior. Mixed evidence was found for the external and discriminant validity of the task. Individual responses largely loaded onto a single component, suggesting that the aggregate scoring approach accurately represents the underlying data structure. These results provide preliminary support for the internal validity of this TAP approach and highlight the utility of preregistration in psychometric research.
