Abstract
Eighty male undergraduates participated in an experiment designed to investigate the effects of exposure to a nonaggressive model, level of prior anger arousal, and degree of observer-model similarity on adult aggressive behavior. The dependent measures of aggression were the intensity and duration of shocks delivered to the victim by Ss on occasions when this person appeared to make errors on a learning task. Results indicated that exposure to the model was effective in reducing the duration of attacks against the victim both in the presence and absence of prior anger arousal, but succeeded in lowering the intensity of Ss′ aggressive acts only in the absence of such instigation.
