Retaliatory motivation enhances attributions of hostility when people process ambiguous social stimuli
We hypothesized that provocation and readiness to aggress (Retaliatory Motivation) would increase the tendency to construe the ambiguous actions of others as reflecting hostile intent. Male undergraduates were either verbally provoked or not provoked by a male experimenter and half were led to believe that they would be allowed to retaliate anonymously against the provoker in the form of a potentially damaging written evaluation. Participants the…
Relationship Satisfaction and Responsiveness to Nonmates' Flirtation
A laboratory study and a questionnaire study examined, from an evolutionary standpoint, how relationship satisfaction and status relate to people's responsiveness to flirtation from a nonmate. Singles perceived more flirtation (Studies 1 and 2), desired to date the nonmate (Study 1), and claimed to flirt back (Study 2) more than mates. Partial support was provided for other hypotheses. Compared to females, males regarded nonmates as more attracti…
How Masculine Ought I Be? Men's Masculinity and Aggression
Distinctive Members
This study investigated the effect of group composition on judgments of African Americans. White male and female college students responded to photographic slides of female work groups in which the racial composition of the group was systematically altered to represent varying degrees of distinctiveness. Each participant judged the effectiveness of individual group members, as well as the competency of the overall group. Findings suggested that w…
Equity and derogation of those against whom we have aggressed
Casting the classic provocation-retaliation paradigm in an equity framework, we hypothesized that persons realizing their retribution was excessive would derogate their victim, but only when they did not anticipate an opportunity to compensate her. After retaliating against a peer who had harshly evaluated their essays, 40 female undergraduates were informed that either a serious or mild misfortune had recently been suffered by their partner, and…
Gender role masculinity and angry aggression in women
Aggression-consistent, -inconsistent, and -irrelevant priming effects on selective exposure to media violence
Priming with aggressive concepts increases males' attraction to media violence. It was hypothesized that priming with schema-irrelevant concepts would decrease interest relative to the effects of schema-relevant concepts, whether or not the schema-relevant concepts were also schema-consistent. Thirty male undergraduates used lists including aggressive (schema-consistent and schema-relevant), positive or prosocial (schema-inconsistent yet relevant…
Anger arousal, deindividuation, and aggression
We tested the notion that angered persons' aggression would be increased through a process of excitation transfer when they are deindividuated, but that individuated subjects would be most aggressive in circumstances under which they could use the information that they had ingested an arousing drug as a pretext for their aggression. Sixty-two male undergraduates participated under either deindividuated or individuated conditions, ingested either …
Status of the provoker, opportunity to retaliate, and interest in video violence
Two hypotheses derived from affect-dependent stimulus arrangement theory [Zillmann D, Bryant J (1985): In: “Selective Exposure to Communication.” Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum Associates.] were tested: (1) provoked persons will express less interest in seeing video violence than will those not provoked, unless they anticipate an opportunity to retaliate against their provocateur; and (2) when provoked persons anticipate an opportunity to retaliate again…
Reluctance to Transmit Bad News When the Recipient is Unknown
Postcards containing a message either high or low in importance, and either favorable or unfavorable for the recipient, were individually "lost" in the public transportation systems of Paris, Madrid, London, Geneva, and Frankfurt am Main. More postcards were returned when the message was favorable than when it was unfavorable, but only in the high importance conditions. This pattern of results occurred in each location except Madrid. The findings…
Weapons Effect” without Demand Characteristics
In a study to replicate the “weapons effect” (enhancement of aggression by the presence of weapons) under conditions which would minimize demand characteristics and determine the effects of weapon orientation, angered and non-angered subjects ( n = 72) viewed slides of weapons pointing toward or away from them or neutral slides. Aggressive behavior was greater for those subjects who viewed slides of weapons than those who viewed neutral slides
Competitiveness in males and in females
Communication feedback and duration as determinants of accuracy, confidence, and differentiation in interpersonal perception
Effect of frustration upon imitation of aggression
Influence of future choice importance and arousal upon the halo effect
Two determinants of the magnitude of the influence of anticipated choice on the halo effect are investigated: importance of future choice and arousal. Male subjects ranked photographs on positive personality traits. Half of the photographs were of persons about which they anticipated making a choice. In confirmation of the hypotheses, (a) the intercorrelation of the rankings was greater for the choice photographs than for the nonchoice photograph…
The influence of anticipated choice on the halo effect
Activation of cue-elicited aggression by general arousal
Methodological Study of Measurement of Aggression
32 male Ss were either attacked by a peer or treated in a neutral manner. All Ss were then allowed to give electric shocks in varying number and intensity to the peer and also to rate the peer on a number of scales. Both number and intensity of shocks varied as a function of attack, with number showing the greatest degree of variance. Shock number was correlated with expressed anger only among control Ss. Neither shock measure correlated with ang…
