Sixty-four undergraduate males participated in an experiment designed to examine the effects of level of prior anger arousal, exposure to an aggressive model, and ambient temperature on physical aggression. On the basis of Bandura's social learning theory of aggression, it was predicted that uncomfortably hot environmental conditions would be most effective in facilitating later aggression when subjects had both witnessed the actions of the model and been exposed to strong provocation from the victim, but least effective in this regard when they had neither witnessed the actions of the model nor been exposed to prior instigation. In contrast to these predictions, results indicated that high ambient temperatures facilitated aggression by nonangered subjects but actually inhibited such behavior by those who had previously been provoked.
64名本科男性参与了一项实验，该实验旨在研究先前愤怒唤起水平、接触攻击性榜样以及环境温度对身体攻击行为的影响。基于班杜拉的攻击社会学习理论，研究预测，当受试者既目睹了榜样的行为又受到受害者的强烈挑衅时，令人不适的炎热环境条件在促进后期攻击行为方面最为有效，但当他们既未目睹榜样的行为也未受到先前煽动时，在这方面效果最差。与这些预测相反，结果表明，高环境温度促进了未被激怒的受试者的攻击行为，但实际上抑制了那些先前受到挑衅的人的此类行为。
