我们考察了性格攻击性对酒精中毒和攻击性言语之间关系的调节作用。70名参与者(33名女性，37名男性)使用模拟人际冲突的愤怒诱导实验来评估攻击性言语行为(模拟情境下的清晰思维)，喝下酒精饮料或安慰剂饮料，然后想象一系列录音记录的人际场景。两名对状态视而不见的评分者评估了参与者在愤怒唤醒过程中表达攻击性言语(侮辱、攻击性威胁、好战的挑衅)的频率。攻击性是使用标准的性情攻击性测量来评估的。结果支持攻击性缓和假说：与低攻击性参与者相比，无论饮料条件如何，高攻击性醉酒参与者的攻击性言语明显更具攻击性，与高攻击性/安慰剂组相比，攻击性言语要多三倍。没有性别影响。这些数据支持这样一种假设，即酒精主要在有从事此类行为的倾向风险的个人中增强攻击性。
We examined the moderating effect of dispositional aggressivity on the relationship between alcohol intoxication and aggressive verbalizations. Using a laboratory anger-induction task that simulated an interpersonal conflict as a method to assess aggressive verbalizations (the articulated thoughts in simulated situations paradigm), 70 participants (33 women, 37 men) consumed either an alcoholic or a placebo beverage, and then imagined a series of audiorecorded interpersonal scenarios. Two blind-to-condition raters assessed the frequency of participants' aggressive verbalizations (insults, aggressive threats, belligerent provocations) articulated during anger arousal. Aggressivity was assessed using a standard measure of dispositional aggression. Results supported the aggressivity moderation hypothesis: intoxicated participants high in aggressivity responded with significantly more aggressive verbalizations relative to low-aggressivity participants regardless of beverage condition, and three times more aggressive verbalizations relative to the high-aggressivity/placebo group. There were no gender effects. These data support the hypothesis that alcohol potentiates aggression primarily among individuals at dispositional risk for engaging in such a behavior.
