(2006): Effects of Provocation on Emotions and Aggression. An Experimental Study with Aggressive Children. In: Swiss Journal of Psychology 65 (2), S. 117-124. DOI: 10.1024/1421-0185.65.2.117
Abstract: Examined the effects of an experimentally induced provocation on emotions and aggression in 34 aggressive conduct-disordered children using a competitive reaction time paradigm. Two experimental conditions were created, an increasing provocation and a low constant provocation condition. Self-rated anger was assessed directly after provocation on a 5-point visual scale. In addition, negative and positive emotions as well as physiological measures (heart rate and skin conductance level) were measured at baseline and after provocation. Results revealed that participants' aggressive behavior and subjective emotions differed as a function of the opponent's level of provocation. Concerning physiological parameters, no significant differences were found between the experimental conditions. The results suggest that affective, but not physiological variables characterize reactive aggression in conduct-disordered children. zitiert von 10
