Description
The study examined the effect of dispositional and situationally induced perspective taking on male retaliatory aggression under high provocation. Zillmann's (1988) cognitive-excitation model of impulsive aggression provided the theoretical rationale. After completing the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI, Davis, 1983), subjects were informed that their scores revealed that they were either high or average perspective takers. They then participated in a competitive reaction-time task designed to measure verbal aggression and completed a postexperimental questionnaire. A 2 (dispositional perspective taking) by 2 (perspective taking expectation) analysis revealed no significant effects for retaliative aggression. A similar 2 (dispositional empathic concern) by 2 (perspective taking expectation) analysis revealed that highly empathic males retaliated with less offensive messages than did less empathically concerned males. However, none of the analyses revealed significant effects of the manipulation. The results address empathic concern's inhibitory effects after prolonged exposure to provocation.
