Abstract
While it is recognized that aggression is not a unitary concept, the general assumption is that data derived from studies using laboratory models of aggression among infrahuman species will ultimately contribute to our understanding of the causes of aggression and, potentially, to the prevention of aggression among humans. The extent to which laboratory findings may be generalized beyond the animal model depends, in part, on an appreciation of the adequacy of the animal model. Among several others, the shock-induced fighting paradigm is a commonly used laboratory model of aggressive behavior among infrahuman species. The present chapter will describe some of the strengths and weaknesses of this particular model.
