Outcome of aggression affects processing and can legitimise subsequent aggression
The present study investigated differences in processing times between positive and negative outcomes to an aggressive reaction to provocation. The effects of outcome, sex, trait aggressiveness and current mood on subsequent subject‐generated material were also examined. Fifty subjects read stories line by line on a computer screen. Reading time for the key sentence describing a positive or negative outcome to an aggressive reaction to provocatio…
Conflict resolution in women is related to trait aggression and menstrual cycle phase

Angry reactions to failure on a cooperative computer game
This study describes the use of a “cooperative” computer game in which the subject has to follow directions, supposedly sent from a partner, and steer a tank to avoid invisible mines. The tank is lost if it hits a mine or does not reach base within a set time limit. The game was designed so that the majority of trials would be lost. Affective (mood self-ratings), cognitive (attribution of blame questionnaire), and behavioural (feedback sent to th…
The predictive validity of pre‐ and post‐discussion assessment centre ratings
The predictive validities of pre‐ and post‐discussion assessment centre ratings of suitability for initial training as a Naval Officer were compared. The criterion measures were assessments of technical knowledge and officer qualities made on the completion of training. No differences in validity were observed, even for cases where the discussion resulted in more change or where assessors initially disagreed. The value of the discussion procedure…
Group decision making in an assessment centre
Ratings of suitability for training as Naval Officer were obtained from each of four assessors both before and after the final consensus discussion of a selection assessment centre. Analysis was conducted of those cases where three assessors agreed on their initial rating. The probability of a shift after the discussion by the exception to the majority rating was related to (a) whether the exception's rating was initially above or below that of t…
Decision processes in graduate pre‐selection
Transcriptions of recordings of seven graduate recruiters as they thought aloud while pre‐selecting 722 application forms were analysed. Their remarks were categorized into positively and negatively evaluated items of information and inferences from information. Inferences were further categorized into seven types. Significant differences were found between recruiters. Inferences occurred more frequently relative to items near the end of the prot…
Graduate pre‐selection
Information about educational, work and leisure achievements discriminated between graduate application forms which were accepted for further consideration and those which were rejected, as did personal background features and style of completion of the application form. Variation between types of organization, individual organizations and selectors from the same organization was observed
