In adults, alcohol-related stimuli prime aggressive responding without ingestion or belief of ingestion. This represents either experiential or socially-and culturally-mediated learning. Using a laboratory-based competitive aggression paradigm, we replicated adult findings in 103 11-14 year old adolescents below the legal UK drinking age. Using a two-independent group design, priming with alcohol-related imagery led participants to deliver louder noise punishments in a competition task than priming with beverage-related images. This effect was stronger in participants scoring low on an internalization measure. Priming effects in relatively alcohol-naïve participants could constitute evidence of socio-cultural transmission of scripts linking alcohol use and aggression. The enhanced effect in lower internalization scorers suggests that alcohol priming might undermine behavioral inhibition processes in otherwise stable adolescents.
在成年人中，与酒精相关的刺激会在没有摄入或相信摄入的情况下引发攻击反应。这代表了经验或社会文化介导的学习。使用基于实验室的竞争攻击范式，我们在 103 名年龄在 11 至 14 岁之间、低于英国法定饮酒年龄的青少年中复制了成年参与者的发现。使用双独立组设计，与酒精相关的意象引发参与者在竞争任务中比与饮料相关的意象引发更响亮的噪音惩罚。在内部化得分较低的参与者中，这种效应更强。在相对酒精无知的参与者中，引发效应可能构成将酒精使用与攻击联系起来的脚本的社会文化传递的证据。在内部化得分较低的参与者中，增强的效应表明，酒精引发可能会破坏原本稳定的青少年的行为抑制过程。
