This study utilized a comprehensive theoretical approach to provide the first data on the impact of thought suppression on provoked men's alcohol-related aggression.
A diverse community sample (58% African-American) of males between the ages of 21 and 35 ( = 25.25) were randomly assigned to one of two beverage conditions (i.e., alcohol, no-alcohol control). Following beverage consumption, participants were provoked via reception of electric shocks and a verbal insult from a fictitious male opponent. Participants' physical aggression was measured using a shock-based aggression task.
Results indicated that acute alcohol intoxication significantly increased physical aggression among lower, but not higher, thought suppressing men.
Results suggest that, under conditions of interpersonal provocation, alcohol intoxication produces a myopic focus on hostile thoughts and angry affect in lower, but not higher, suppression men. This pattern of results provides support for the durability of the alcohol myopia effect and highlights the need for continued examination of alcohol's role in the disruption of protective factors for men's aggression. It is important for research to continue to identify cognitive variables that influence self-regulation of behavior; however, it is imperative that researchers consider the extent to which these variables withstand alcohol's effects.
本研究采用综合理论方法，首次提供关于思维抑制对引发男性酒精相关攻击行为影响的数据。
从21至35岁（平均年龄 = 25.25岁）的男性中选取了一个多样化的社区样本（58%为非裔美国人），随机分配到两种饮料条件之一（即酒精饮料、无酒精对照）。在饮用饮料后，通过接受来自虚构男性对手的电击和言语侮辱来激怒参与者。使用基于电击的攻击任务测量参与者的身体攻击行为。
结果表明，急性酒精中毒显著增加了思维抑制程度较低而非较高的男性的身体攻击行为。
结果表明，在人际挑衅的情况下，酒精中毒会使思维抑制程度较低而非较高的男性对敌对思维和愤怒情绪产生短视的关注。这种结果模式为酒精近视效应的持续性提供了支持，并突出了继续研究酒精在破坏男性攻击行为保护因素中作用的必要性。研究继续识别影响行为自我调节的认知变量很重要；然而，研究人员必须考虑这些变量在多大程度上能抵御酒精的影响。
