This experiment raised the question of whether previously reported sex differences in physical aggression also hold for verbal aggression. It was hypothesized that verbal aggression would be a function of sex of the object of aggression but not of the sex of the aggressor. Eighty male and female American college students gave messages which varied in degree of hostile content to either a male or female confederate (C). As predicted, verbral aggression was a function of sex of target but not of S. Verbal aggression was inhibited only toward the female C when the S was not provoked by the C; when provoked, however, Ss displayed the same level of verbal aggression toward female and male targets.
本实验提出了一个问题，即先前报道的身体攻击方面的性别差异是否也适用于言语攻击。研究假设言语攻击将是攻击对象的性别的函数，而不是攻击者性别的函数。80名美国男女大学生向一名男性或女性同盟者（C）传递了敌意程度不同的信息。正如预测的那样，言语攻击是目标性别的函数，而不是施测者（S）性别的函数。当施测者未受到同盟者的挑衅时，言语攻击仅对女性同盟者受到抑制；然而，当受到挑衅时，施测者对女性和男性目标表现出相同程度的言语攻击。
