The relationship of conceptual tempo to fantasy and overt aggression and its control was examined in order to test the generalizability of this cognitive style to domains of social and personality functioning. Fifth-grade boys and girls were administered the Matching Familiar Figures Test and a projective measure of fantasy aggression and its control and were rated sociometrically by peers and teachers on physical, verbal, and indirect forms of overt aggression. While reflective and impulsive children did not differ in degree of fantasy aggression expressed, impulsive children, especially boys, were found to exercise less control over their aggressive thoughts than the other 3 conceptual tempo groups. Impulsive and slow-inaccurate children were also more overtly aggressive, especially in comparison with fast-accurates. In addition, fantasy aggression predicted overt aggression in impulsives but not in reflectives. This study presents new evidence that conceptual tempo relates to areas beyond problem solving involving the child's social-emotional makeup.
为了检验这种认知风格在社会和人格功能领域的通用性，研究了概念节奏与幻想、公开攻击及其控制之间的关系。对五年级的男孩和女孩进行了匹配熟悉图形测试以及幻想攻击及其控制的投射测量，并由同伴和教师对他们在身体、言语和间接形式的公开攻击方面进行社会测量评级。虽然反思型和冲动型儿童在表达的幻想攻击程度上没有差异，但发现冲动型儿童，尤其是男孩，对其攻击性思维的控制比其他三个概念节奏组要少。冲动型和缓慢不准确型儿童也更具公开攻击性，尤其是与快速准确型儿童相比。此外，幻想攻击在冲动型儿童中能预测公开攻击，但在反思型儿童中则不能。这项研究提供了新的证据，表明概念节奏与涉及儿童社会情感构成的问题解决之外的领域有关。
