We investigated whether aggressive individuals have an attributional bias of hostile intent compared to nonaggressive peers. We compared 43 frequently aggressive individuals who had mild to moderate intellectual disabilities with 46 nonaggressive controls on an attributional task. The aggressive participants attributed significantly more hostile intent to protagonists and indicated that they would respond more aggressively than did the controls to provocative scenes, but only when the threat was to themselves. Results suggest that differences in attribution of threat to self play a role in frequent aggression. These differences appear to be due, in part, to a positive bias of the nonaggressive participants on the self-referent scenes. Clinically, results highlight the importance of assessing and addressing aggressive individuals' interpersonal perceptions.
我们调查了与非攻击性同龄人相比，攻击性个体是否存在敌意意图的归因偏差。我们在一项归因任务中，将43名患有轻度至中度智力障碍的频繁攻击性个体与46名非攻击性对照组进行了比较。攻击性参与者将更多的敌意意图归因于主角，并表示在面对挑衅场景时，他们会比对照组做出更具攻击性的反应，但这仅在威胁针对他们自身时才会出现。结果表明，对自身威胁的归因差异在频繁攻击行为中起作用。这些差异似乎部分归因于非攻击性参与者在自我参照场景上的积极偏差。临床上，结果凸显了评估和处理攻击性个体人际认知的重要性。
