Thirty patients with hypomania (or mania) were studied using the Hostility and Direction of Hostility Questionnaire to establish by testing and retesting the same patients the changes that take place in hostility as a hypomanic illness remits. Highly significant decreases in total hostility, in extrapunitiveness, in criticism of others and in projected hostility were demonstrated. There was some evidence to suggest that acquiescent response set may be characteristic, not of the hypomanic state itself, but of individuals predisposed to develop such an illness. Hostility scores in recovered female hypomanics did not differ from those of control subjects once correction had been made for the effects of age and social class. As an exception to the rule, the case is described of a man with mild mental retardation where testing confirmed clinical and collateral observations of a massive increase in hostility on recovery from a hypomanic illness.
对30名轻躁狂（或躁狂）患者进行了研究，使用敌意与敌意指向问卷，通过对同一批患者进行测试和复测，来确定随着轻躁狂疾病缓解，敌意所发生的变化。结果显示，总体敌意、外罚性、对他人的批评以及投射性敌意均有极显著下降。有证据表明，顺从反应定势可能并非轻躁狂状态本身的特征，而是易患此类疾病个体的特征。一旦对年龄和社会阶层的影响进行校正，康复的女性轻躁狂患者的敌意得分与对照组无差异。作为该规则的一个例外，描述了一名轻度智力障碍男性的病例，测试证实了临床及旁证观察结果，即该患者从轻躁狂疾病康复后敌意大幅增加。
