冲动性已被证明可以预测男性的攻击性和酗酒，而糟糕的社会问题解决能力已被确定为这种关系中的潜在中介变量。我们着手调查冲动，社会问题解决，侵略，和酒精使用的非罪犯样本的英国男性（N = 70）之间的相互关系。在我们提出的关系中，只有两个是重要的：更高的冲动性与更差的社会问题解决有关，而更差的社会问题解决与更大的侵略性有关。结合冲动性和社会问题解决表明，穷人的社会问题解决，而不是冲动性，是什么样的影响，在这个样本中的侵略。冲动可能会在发育早期的学习中造成障碍，而解决问题能力差的后遗症是后来导致攻击性的原因。(C)2002 Wiley-Liss，Inc.
Impulsivity has been shown to predict aggression and heavy drinking in males, and poor social problem-solving has been identified as a potential mediating variable in this relationship. We set out to investigate the inter-relationships among impulsiveness, social problem-solving, aggression, and alcohol use in a non-offender sample of British males (N = 70). Of our proposed relationships, only two were significant: higher impulsivity was related to poorer social problem-solving, and poorer social problem-solving was related to greater aggression. Combining impulsivity and social problem-solving indicated that poor social problem-solving, not impulsivity, was what exerted the influence over aggression in this sample. Impulsivity perhaps presents an obstacle to learning in the early developmental years, and the legacy of poor problem-solving is what later contributes to aggression. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
