Abstract

Albino rats were used to investigate the effects of a nausea-inducing drug (lithium chloride) upon shock-elicited aggression. Of the five groups of Ss, one received lithium chloride only, one shock only, and the remaining three groups received different levels of the injected drug plus shock. Results indicated that small amounts of the nausea-inducing drug increased aggressive responding, while larger amounts inhibited aggression. Neither simple restraint nor the drug without shock were sufficient to elicit biting responses.
