A considerable literature, clinical and experimental, has demonstrated the aggression-eliciting effects of alcohol intoxication. However, the focus of the experimental literature has been primarily on men and the studies on women have been inconclusive. This study was conducted to test for possible gender differences in the manifestation of alcohol-induced aggression. Participants were 54 males and 60 females, aged 18-30 years, who competed in a competitive aggression paradigm either sober or intoxicated. As expected, intoxicated men were more aggressive than their sober peers. However, under high provocation, both sober and intoxicated, women manifested aggression comparable to the intoxicated men. This study suggests that women can be as aggressive as men, and that alcohol intoxication does not seem to be as important a determining factor.
大量临床和实验文献已经证明了酒精中毒会引发攻击行为。然而，实验文献的重点主要在男性身上，对女性的研究尚无定论。本研究旨在测试酒精诱发攻击行为表现中可能存在的性别差异。参与者为54名男性和60名女性，年龄在18至30岁之间，他们在清醒或醉酒状态下参与了竞争性攻击范式。正如预期的那样，醉酒的男性比清醒的同龄人更具攻击性。然而，在高度挑衅的情况下，无论是清醒还是醉酒，女性表现出的攻击性与醉酒男性相当。这项研究表明，女性可以和男性一样具有攻击性，而且酒精中毒似乎并不是一个重要的决定因素。
