与攻击相关的线索（例如，暴力媒体）可以引发敌对思想和侵略倾向。然而，并不是每个人在接触到与攻击有关的线索后都会采取攻击行为。一些思维模式，也许是自动的，可能会阻止某些人的线索攻击序列。这些考虑激发了本研究，该研究探讨了宜人性对行为和认知的攻击相关线索的影响的可能性。在研究1中，我们发现，与攻击相关的线索启动增加了攻击行为，但只有在个体低宜人性。研究2表明，与攻击相关的线索激活了具有高宜人情感（宜人性的一个组成部分）的个体的亲社会思想。这些结果表明，愉快的人能够短路的线索攻击序列，可能是通过招募亲社会的想法，以回应与攻击有关的启动。
Aggression-related cues (e.g., violent media) can prime both hostile thoughts and the tendency to commit aggression. However, not everyone engages in an aggressive act after being exposed to an aggression-related cue. Some thought pattern, perhaps an automatic one, may prevent the cue-aggression sequence in some individuals. These considerations motivated the present research, which examined the potential for agreeableness to moderate the effect of aggression-related cues on behavior and cognition. In Study 1, we found that priming with aggression-related cues increased aggressive behavior, but only among individuals low in agreeableness. Study 2 showed that aggression-related cues activated prosocial thoughts among individuals high in agreeable affect (a component of agreeableness). These results reveal that agreeable individuals are able to short-circuit the cue-aggression sequence, likely by recruiting prosocial thoughts in response to aggression-related primes.
