Investigated the relationship between thresholds for perception of aggressive cues and overt aggressive behavior in 86 male undergraduate students. Overt aggressive behavior was measured by the amount of shock the subject attempted to inflict on his presumed opponent. It was found that individuals with low thresholds for aggressive cues expressed less overt aggressive behavior while individuals with high thresholds for aggression expressed more overt aggression. Thus an inverse relationship was found with respect to perceptual recognition thresholds for aggressive stimuli and overt aggressive behavior. The implications of these findings for projective techniques and their relevance to perception as it relates to overt behavior were discussed.
对86名男性本科生攻击性线索的感知阈值与公开攻击行为之间的关系进行了研究。公开攻击行为通过受试者试图对其假定对手施加的电击量来衡量。研究发现，攻击性线索阈值低的个体表现出的公开攻击行为较少，而攻击性阈值高的个体表现出的公开攻击行为较多。因此，在攻击性刺激的感知识别阈值与公开攻击行为之间发现了一种反向关系。讨论了这些发现对投射技术的影响及其与公开行为相关的感知的相关性。
