Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: When do normative beliefs about aggression predict aggressive behavior? An application of I3 theory Beteiligte: Li, Jian‐Bin; Nie, Yan‐Gang; Boardley, Ian D.; Dou, Kai; Situ, Qiao‐Min Erschienen: Wiley, 2015 Erschienen in: Aggressive Behavior, 41 (2015) 6, Seite 544-555 Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/ab.21594 ISSN: 0096-140X; 1098-2337 Schlagwörter: General Psychology ; Arts and Humanities (miscellaneous) ; Developmental and Educational Psychology Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: <jats:sec><jats:label /><jats:p>I<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> theory assumes that aggressive behavior is dependent on three orthogonal processes (i.e., <jats:italic>Instigator</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Impellance</jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Inhibition</jats:italic>). Previous studies showed that <jats:italic>Impellance</jats:italic> (trait aggressiveness, retaliation tendencies) better predicted aggression when <jats:italic>Instigator</jats:italic> was strong and <jats:italic>Inhibition</jats:italic> was weak. In the current study, we predicted that another <jats:italic>Impellance</jats:italic> (i.e., normative beliefs about aggression) might predict aggression when <jats:italic>Instigator</jats:italic> was absent and <jats:italic>Inhibition</jats:italic> was high (i.e., the perfect calm proposition). In two experiments, participants first completed the normative beliefs about aggression questionnaire. Two weeks later, participants' self‐control resources were manipulated either using the Stroop task (study 1, <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 148) or through an “e‐crossing” task (study 2, <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 180). Afterwards, with or without being provoked, participants played a game with an ostensible partner where they had a chance to aggress against them. Study 1 found that normative beliefs about aggression negatively and significantly predicted aggressive behavior <jats:italic>only</jats:italic> when provocation was absent and self‐control resources were not depleted. In Study 2, normative beliefs about aggression negatively predicted aggressive behavior at marginal significance level <jats:italic>only</jats:italic> in the “no‐provocation and no‐depletion” condition. In conclusion, the current study provides partial support for the perfect calm proposition and I<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> theory. Aggr.
