LISTA PREGUNTAS

AGGRESSION

Aversive stimulus => Aggression

Pain- elicited aggression

Ulrich & Azrin (1962):

• Rats from same litter in test cage -> electric shocks through cage floor

• Rats rearing up on their hind legs and pushing each other

• If shocks very intense & long enough -> rats biting each other

• -> Powerful & universal animal instinct to attack when hurt
  

Berkowitz, Cochrane, Embree (1981):

• University women acting as teachers, reinforcing or punishing a partner doing a learning task

• Some "teachers" hand in cold water, others in warm water

• Cold water -> significantly more likely to be punitive towards partners
• -> Humans also potentially behave more aggressively when they are hurt
