In 1955 George Kelly stated that members of society are constantly trying to explain and interpret each others innate goals and characteristics (Lilienfeld, 2010).

This use of research for the contemporary theory began with the publication of Cronbach and Meehl’s “Construct Validity in Psychological Test” (Bornstein, 2011).

focuses on how often a behavior happens in a given time period that the test administers to the students. The questions on the survey are based upon hypothesized reasons for why children exhibit aggressive behaviors through victimization and lack of social skills. Robert F.

Research on animal models ranges from simple behaviour observation to more invasive procedures such as the extraction of brain chemicals. However, ‘the use of animals in research is often misunderstood’ (Bennett, 2012:online)
