反应性攻击被认为是对威胁高度敏感的结果，而无畏可能会驱使主动攻击。本研究旨在利用沉浸式虚拟现实恐惧(VR)诱导来检验生理性恐惧反应与自我报告、反应性和主动性攻击是否存在差异。我们收集了互动VR恐怖视频中的主观恐惧等级和交感神经系统(SNS；皮肤电导)和副交感神经系统(PNS；呼吸性窦性心律失常)的反应。结果表明，对于男性和女性来说，反应性攻击性与SNS恐惧反应性的增强有关。对于男性来说，在恐惧诱导过程中，主动性攻击与PNS和SNS(共同抑制)的低唤醒有关，而在女性中，PNS的增强与主动性攻击有关。这些结果支持了男性主动攻击性的无畏假说，但这在女性中不会重复。相比之下，男性和女性对恐惧的过敏性都与反应性攻击有关。
Reactive aggression is posited to occur as a result of hypersensitivity to threat, whereas fearlessness may drive proactive aggression. This study aimed to test if physiological fear reactivity differentially relates to self-report reactive and proactive aggression using immersive virtual reality fear (VR) induction. We collected subjective fear ratings and sympathetic (SNS; skin conductance) and parasympathetic (PNS; respiratory sinus arrhythmia) nervous system reactivity during an interactive VR horror video. Results showed that for men and women, reactive aggression was related to heightened SNS fear reactivity. For men, proactive aggression was related to hypoarousal of the PNS and SNS (coinhibition) during fear induction, whereas augmented PNS was related to proactive aggression in women. These results support the fearlessness hypothesis for proactive aggression in men, but this does not replicate in women. By contrast, hypersensitivity to fear is related to reactive aggression for both men and women.
