大多数人避免在酒吧里遇到“大块头的醉汉”，因为他们不想受到攻击。不幸的是，还没有科学研究对这一主题进行过研究。根据愤怒的重新校准理论和具身认知理论，我们预测，在两个独立的实验中，体重较重的人在喝醉时表现得最具攻击性（Ns分别为553和327），参与者饮用酒精或安慰剂饮料，然后完成一项攻击性任务，在这项任务中，他们可以对一个人进行痛苦的电击。虚构的对手这两项实验都表明，体重与酒精和性别相互作用，预测醉酒的重男人中最高的攻击性。结果表明，具身认知方法在理解醉酒的攻击性方面是有用的。显然，“大个子，喝醉了，有攻击性的家伙”的刻板印象中有一个真理的核心。
Most people avoid the "big, drunk guy" in bars because they do not want to get assaulted Is this stereotype supported by empirical evidence? Unfortunately, no scientific work has investigated this topic Based on the recalibrational theory of anger and embodied cognition theory, we predicted that heavier men would behave the most aggressively when intoxicated In two independent experiments (Ns = 553 and 327, respectively), participants consumed either alcohol or placebo beverages and then completed an aggression task in which they could administer painful electric shocks to a fictitious opponent. Both experiments showed that weight interacted with alcohol and gender to predict the highest amount of aggression among intoxicated heavy men The results suggest that an embodied cognition approach is useful in understanding intoxicated aggression Apparently there is a kernel of truth in the stereotype of the "big, drunk, aggressive guy" (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc All tights reserved
