The primary goal of this investigation was to determine whether executive functioning (EF) would moderate the alcohol-aggression relation. Participants were 310 (152 men and 158 women) healthy social drinkers between 21 and 35 years of age. EF as well as non-EF skills were measured with 13 validated neuropsychological tests. Following the consumption of either an alcoholic or a placebo beverage, participants were tested on a modified version of the Taylor Aggression Paradigm (S. Taylor, 1967), in which mild electric shocks were received from, and administered to, a fictitious opponent. Aggressive behavior was operationalized as the shock intensities administered to the fictitious opponent. EF was negatively related to aggressive behavior for men, regardless of beverage group, even when controlling for non-EF skills. Furthermore, alcohol increased aggression only for men with lower EF scores. Finally, the mere belief that alcohol was consumed suppressed aggression for women but not for men.
本研究的主要目的是确定执行功能（EF）是否会调节酒精与攻击行为之间的关系。研究参与者为310名年龄在21至35岁之间的健康社交饮酒者（152名男性和158名女性）。通过13项经过验证的神经心理学测试来测量执行功能以及非执行功能技能。在饮用酒精饮料或安慰剂饮料后，参与者接受了改良版泰勒攻击范式（S. 泰勒，1967年）的测试，在该范式中，他们会从一个虚构对手那里接受并向其施加轻度电击。攻击行为通过对虚构对手施加的电击强度来衡量。对于男性而言，无论饮料组别如何，即使在控制非执行功能技能的情况下，执行功能与攻击行为呈负相关。此外，酒精只会增加执行功能得分较低的男性的攻击性。最后，仅仅是相信自己饮用了酒精就会抑制女性的攻击行为，但对男性则没有这种作用。
