Laboratory-induced aggression among participants with and without a history of alcohol-related aggression
The effects of alcohol-related and mixed alcohol and non-alcohol-related histories of aggression on aggressive responding in the laboratory were investigated using the Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm (PSAP). Forty-five male college students were selected for participation in the present study using a questionnaire consisting of modified items from the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI; Buss & Durkee, 1957) and Overt Aggression Scale (OAS; Yudofsky et al., 1986) that allowed for assignment to an alcohol-related, mixed, or no history of aggression control condition. Participants performed four 25-minute PSAP sessions in sequence during one laboratory visit. The short version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Second Edition (MMPI-2) was administered after completion of the laboratory task. Significant differences in aggressive responding were not found as a function of comparison group, PSAP session, or the interaction by these two variables. The MMPI-2 variables did not differ as a function of group assignment. These college men, with mild to moderate histories of aggression, appeared to be more similar than different in aggressive responding. Efforts were made to further extend the development of a self-report measure of alcohol-related aggressive histories. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved)
