本文的主要目的是应用注意力分配模型(AAM; Steele和Josephs, 1990)来解释和预防与酒精有关的暴力。Tire AAM认为,酒精对注意力有一种“短视”的影响,这可能会使人们的注意力集中在敌对环境中自然存在的最明显的挑衅性线索上,而不是不那么明显的抑制性线索上,从而促进攻击。数据提出,以证明支持AAM关于酒精相关的攻击。该模型还被扩展到一些中介机制,这些机制可能解释了如何将注意力从挑衅性线索上转移开,从而减少攻击性。最后,就如何将AAM呼叫应用于中毒攻击的预防提出了一些实际建议。
The primary purpose of this article is to apply the attention-allocation model (AAM; Steele and Josephs, 1990) to the explanation, as well as the prevention, of alcohol-related violence. Tire AAM contends that alcohol has a "myopic" effect on attentional capacity that presumably facilitates aggression by narrowing attentional focus on the most salient provocative cues that are naturally present in hostile situations, rather than oil less salient inhibitory cues. Data are presented to demonstrate support for the AAM with regard to alcohol-related aggression. The model has also been expanded to suggest some intermediary mechanisms that may account for how distracting attention away from provocative cues might be involved in the reduction of aggression. Finally, a number of practical suggestions are put forth regarding how the AAM call be applied to the prevention of intoxicated aggression.
