This study examined physiological and social-cognitive correlates of aggression in an in vivo laboratory provocation situation. Fifty-one male participants (ages 9 to 13) were selected based on teacher aggression screenings, ranging from normative to high levels. A provocation was induced by the experimenter communicating a threat from an unseen "peer" in the laboratory. Bivariate linear regression analyses showed that aggression significantly predicted heart rate at both pre- and postinduction, and aggression significantly predicted attributions of intent following the provocation. Results indicated that aggression was a significant predictor of changes in hostile attribution and heart rate following the threat induction. A positive correlation also was found between heart rate change and attribution change. The findings suggest that both physiological and social-cognitive processes should be addressed in clinical interventions with aggressive children.
本研究在一个活体实验室挑衅情境中考察了攻击行为的生理和社会认知相关因素。基于教师对攻击行为的筛查，从正常水平到高水平选取了51名男性参与者（年龄9至13岁）。实验者通过传达来自实验室中一个看不见的“同伴”的威胁来引发挑衅。双变量线性回归分析表明，攻击行为在诱发前和诱发后均能显著预测心率，且攻击行为能显著预测挑衅后的意图归因。结果表明，攻击行为是威胁诱发后敌意归因和心率变化的显著预测指标。心率变化与归因变化之间也发现了正相关。研究结果表明，在对具有攻击性的儿童进行临床干预时，应同时关注生理和社会认知过程。
