The present study was conducted to examine for college males relations between aggressiveness (or expressive hostility) and dominance and (a) particular developmental experiences and (b) total serum cholesterol. Aggressiveness but not dominance was found to be positively related to subjects' reports of their parents' behavior which reflected (a) less genuine acceptance, (b) more interference in the person's desires as a child, and (c) more punitiveness. For low-physically fit subjects, both aggressiveness and dominance were found to be positively related to levels of total serum cholesterol. These relations are congruent with the notion that both aggressiveness and dominance may contribute to hastening coronary atherosclerosis and risk of CHD via elevated levels of plasma lipids. It should be noted, however, that the relations obtained in the present study were all modest in size. For high-physically fit individuals associations were not found between total serum cholesterol and either aggressiveness or dominance. These results suggest that good physical fitness may attenuate the degree to which either aggressiveness or dominance may adversely affect health via elevated levels of cholesterol.
本研究旨在调查大学男性中攻击性（或表达性敌意）与支配性之间的关系，以及（a）特定的发展经历和（b）总血清胆固醇之间的关系。研究发现，攻击性而非支配性与受试者报告的父母行为呈正相关，这些行为表现为：（a）较少的真诚接纳；（b）在孩子小时候对其愿望更多的干涉；（c）更多的惩罚性。对于身体状况不佳的受试者，攻击性和支配性均与总血清胆固醇水平呈正相关。这些关系与以下观点一致，即攻击性和支配性都可能通过升高的血脂水平促进冠状动脉粥样硬化和冠心病风险。然而，应该指出的是，本研究中获得的关系规模都较小。对于身体状况良好的个体，未发现总血清胆固醇与攻击性或支配性之间存在关联。这些结果表明，良好的身体素质可能会减弱攻击性或支配性通过升高的胆固醇水平对健康产生不利影响的程度。
