Eighty-five undergraduate males participated in an experiment designed to investigate the impact of various types of erotic stimuli upon aggression. On the basis of previous research, it was hypothesized that exposure to mild erotic stimuli would tend to inhibit subsequent aggression, while exposure to more arousing stimuli of this type would facilitate such behavior. In order to examine this hypothesis, male subjects were first angered or treated in a more neutral manner by a confederate of the experimenter and then provided with an opportunity to aggress against this person by means of electric shock. Before aggressing, participants were exposed to one of five different types of stimuli: nonerotic pictures of furniture, scenery, and abstract art; pictures of seminude females; pictures of nude females; pictures of couples engaged in various acts of lovemaking; or explicit erotic passages. Results offered partial support for the major hypothesis. Exposure to mild erotic stimuli inhibited later aggression, while exposure to more arousing sexual materials neither facilitated nor inhibited such behavior.
八十五名本科男性参与了一项旨在研究各类色情刺激对攻击性影响的实验。基于先前的研究，研究者提出假设：接触温和的色情刺激往往会抑制随后的攻击性，而接触此类更具刺激性的刺激则会助长这种行为。为了检验这一假设，男性受试者首先被实验者的一名助手激怒或受到更中性的对待，然后获得通过电击对该人进行攻击的机会。在进行攻击之前，参与者接触了五种不同类型的刺激之一：家具、风景和抽象艺术的非色情图片；半裸女性图片；全裸女性图片；情侣进行各种做爱行为的图片；或露骨的色情段落。结果为主要假设提供了部分支持。接触温和的色情刺激抑制了后来的攻击性，而接触更具刺激性的性材料既没有助长也没有抑制这种行为。
