攻击行为的一个常见原因是自我控制失败，但研究表明，长期练习自我控制可以提高随后的自我控制能力。这个实验测试了为期两周的自我控制训练是否可以减少对挑衅的愤怒和攻击性。70名大学生完成了为期两周的自我控制训练或控制任务。在两周结束时，参与者受到侮辱，并有机会通过发出巨大的白噪音来进行报复。自我控制训练减少了特质攻击高的人的攻击行为。接受培训的参与者也报告说，他们的愤怒情绪比对照组的参与者要少。这些结果为自我控制训练可能有助于攻击性个体克服攻击性冲动提供了初步支持。(C) 2011爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
One common cause of aggression is self-control failure, yet research suggests that practicing self-control over time can improve subsequent self-control. This experiment tested whether self-control training over a 2-week period could decrease anger and aggression in response to provocation. Seventy undergraduates completed 2 weeks of self-control training or a control task. At the end of the 2 weeks, participants were insulted and given the opportunity to retaliate by delivering a blast of loud white noise. Self-control training reduced aggression among those high in trait aggression. Participants who received the training also reported less anger than those in the control condition. These results provide initial support that self-control training might prove beneficial for assisting aggressive individuals to overcome aggressive impulses. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.
