The author examined the relation between anonymity and aggression in violent interpersonal assaults that occurred in Northern Ireland. Of the 500 violent attacks that the author studied, 206 were carried out by offenders who wore disguises to mask their identities. The findings revealed that significant positive relationships existed between the use of disguises and several measures of aggression. Disguised offenders inflicted more serious physical injuries, attacked more people at the scene, engaged in more acts of vandalism, and were more likely to threaten victims after the attacks. The author discussed these results within the framework of deindividuation theory.
作者研究了北爱尔兰发生的暴力人际攻击中匿名性与攻击性之间的关系。在作者研究的500起暴力袭击事件中,有206起是由作案时伪装身份的罪犯实施的。研究结果显示,伪装的使用与多种攻击性衡量指标之间存在显著的正相关关系。伪装身份的罪犯造成的身体伤害更严重,在现场攻击的人更多,实施的破坏行为更多,并且在袭击后更有可能威胁受害者。作者在去个体化理论的框架内讨论了这些结果。
