Document Summary
Pictures of hunting guns more likely to prime aggressive thoughts among nonhunters than hunters. = both hunter and non-hunter carry aggressive thoughts. The revised hypothesis indicates that the frustration-aggression relationship is only a special case of a: More general connection between aversive stimulation and aggressive inclinations. Thwartings (frustrations) produce an instigation to aggression only to the degree that they generate negative affect. An unanticipated failure to obtain a goal is more unpleasant than an expected failure, and it is the greater displeasure in the former case that gives rise to a stronger instigation to aggression. Frustration-aggression hypo: if wanna get rid of frustration also can. Eg. sitting next to someone smelly on a long fight. If expected, then will not have negative affect. If unexpected: more likely have negative affect. Many athletes view some aggressive acts as inappropriate in general but appropriate in the sport environment. Different moral lens when it comes to sport compared to other context.
