Greek Standardization of the Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses (STAR GR ): Factorial Structure and Methodological Considerations
Aggressive traits and situational factors interact to influence the propensity for aggressive behavior. Individuals’ sensitivity to the situational factors' provocation and frustration are assessed by the Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses (STAR) scale subscales sensitivity to provocation (SP) and sensitivity to frustration (SF). The aims of this paper were to (1) briefly summarize the basic theory supporting the STAR scale, (2) review …
Warming up cool cooperators
Explaining why someone repeats high-cost cooperation towards non-reciprocating strangers is difficult. Warm glow offers an explanation. We argue that warm glow, as a mechanism to sustain long-term cooperation, cools off over time but can be warmed up with a simple intervention message. We tested our predictions in the context of repeat voluntary blood donation (high-cost helping of a non-reciprocating stranger) across 6 studies: a field-based exp…
Reduced attention toward faces, intentionality and blame ascription in violent offenders and community‐based adults: Evidence from an eye‐tracking study
People typically have a strong bias in attention toward faces to help them understand social interactions. Nonetheless some people, like incarcerated offenders and psychopaths, exhibit deficits in “face reading,” which may impair their interpretations, especially in case of attribution allocation in harmful events. In these cases, the ascription of intentionality is key in understanding the allocation of blame and structuring social information p…
Work-related Violence: Assessment and intervention
Recent reports suggest that violence in the workplace is an increasingly common problem for organizations, and that violence -or the threat of it- is one of the major sources of stress at work. Work-Related Violence examines the causes and consequences of violence at work, and offers practical solutions for managers and organizational psychology professionals. Part one reviews the size and scope of the problem and sets out the need for interventi…

Public health messages about antibiotic treatment for respiratory tract infection may increase perceived symptom severity reporting
Public health campaigns to reduce expectations for antibiotic treatment for respiratory tract infections have shown little or no effect on antibiotic prescribing and consumption. We examined whether such messages can increase respiratory tract infection symptom reporting. Participants ( N = 318) received one of four campaign messages, a combination of all four messages, or no message. Respiratory tract infection symptoms increased for those who r…
Brief mindfulness induction could reduce aggression after depletion
The impact of non‐aggressive behaviour early in aggressive interactions: Sex differences in direct and indirect aggression in response to provocation
Using an adapted form of the T aylor competitive reaction time task ( TCRT : Taylor, 1967), we examined the effect of initially non‐aggressive behaviour during aggressive encounters. Specifically, if a person is initially non‐aggressive, but becomes more aggressive later, does an opponent respond more or less aggressively in response? Participants ( N = 148) played a competitive reaction time task against a bogus partner, who was either initially…
The Influence of Individual Differences in Sensitivity to Provocations on Provoked Aggression
Using an adapted form of the Taylor Competitive reaction Time (TCRT) task [Taylor (1967). Journal of Personality, 35, 297-310], this study is the first to examine the influence of individual differences in sensitivity to provocations (SP) [Lawrence (2006). Aggressive Behavior, 32, 3, 241-252] as opposed to sensitivity to frustrations (SF) on provoked aggression (noise blasts delivered to a bogus partner). Participants (N = 144) played a competiti…
The role of context stability and behavioural stability in the mere measurement effect: An examination across six behaviours
Asking about intentions and behaviour may alter future reports of health behaviours due to the stability of the behaviours (behavioural stability hypothesis), or changes in performance context (context stability hypothesis). Two studies ( Ns = 116, 177) confirmed the distinction between stable and unstable behaviours and explored context stability for six health-related behaviours. Study 3 used a longitudinal intervention design in which the inte…
Group‐based evaluations for pupil‐on‐teacher violence: The impact of teacher intervention strategy
Although extreme violence to teachers is rare, the fact remains that in the UK, 29% of teachers report having been physically assaulted by a pupil (ATL, 2008a ). The ways in which responsibility for such assaults are attributed can have legal, educational and managerial implications. In the current study, teachers ( N = 66), pupils ( N = 68) and parents ( N = 64) from a large secondary school in the UK read an incident report form outlining an in…
Measuring individual responses to aggression-triggering events: Development of the situational triggers of aggressive responses (STAR) scale
This paper presents the development of the Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses (STAR) scale: a self-report instrument examining individual differences in the type of events and antecedents that make people feel aggressive. In Study 1 (N = 145), participants recorded recently occurring incidents that had generated feelings of aggression in them and recorded their affect at the time of the event using the Positive and Negative Affectivity …
Perceiving classroom aggression: The influence of setting, intervention style and group perceptions
Background. Violence and aggression in the classroom are often cited as a major concern within the teaching community. Teachers' perceptions of the appropriateness of intervention behaviours during aggressive incidents, however, are less often examined ( Meyer, Astor, & Behre, 2002 ), nor how they compare to the perceptions of training teachers ( John, 2002 ). Aims. This paper examines differences in the perceptions of practising and training tea…
The influence of perceived prison crowding on male inmates' perception of aggressive events
This study examines whether, in a male prison, the subjective experience of crowding increases the likelihood that events are perceived as aggressive in nature, and whether the protagonists involved are viewed as more hostile, malevolent, and aggressive. In addition, this paper also examines the possible mediating effects of stress, arousal, and psychological well‐being on two hypothesised relationships. First, these mediating factors are examine…
