Abstract
Forty-one male undergraduates participated in an experiment designed to investigate the hypothesis that overt aggression would be enhanced by prior exposure to hostile humor, but inhibited by prior exposure to nonhostile humor. In order to investigate this suggestion, subjects were first angered or not angered by a male confederate, next exposed to either nonhumorous materials, hostile humor, or nonhostile humor, and finally provided with an opportunity to aggress against the confederate. Results offered support for both portions of the hypothesis.
