Question 1

Archer and McDaniel (1995)completed a cross-cultural study of adolescents' responses to conflict situations.Which of the following results from their 11-country study suggests that gender differences might be explained at least in part by biochemistry?

Accepted Answer

Within any given country,men were more likely than women to endorse aggression.

Question 2

Which research findings below provide the most sound evidence that excessive heat causes greater aggression?

Accepted Answer

Option A provides a direct correlation between the increase in temperature and aggression. The experiment measures the behavior of test-takers in two different temperature conditions and their hostile reactions towards strangers. This provides strong evidence that excessive heat is causing aggression. The other options either lack a direct correlation or have alternative explanations.

Question 3

Identify the true statement concerning the link between alcohol and aggression.

Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that males who abuse alcohol are more likely to engage in domestic violence, and that alcohol consumption is a strong predictor of partner aggression.

Question 4

William Griffitt and Roberta Veitch (1971)administered tests to students who were randomly assigned to take the test in a room with normal temperature or in a 32ºC room.After completing the test,students were asked how aggressive they felt and their hostility toward a stranger was measured.These researchers found that students in the

Accepted Answer

According to the study by Griffitt and Veitch (1971), students in the 32ºC room felt more aggressive than those in the normal room, and they were also more hostile to the stranger. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. The study suggests that high temperature may lead to increased aggression and hostility.

Question 6

An experimental study by McDonald,Zanna,and Holmes (2000)gave alcohol,placebo drinks,or no drinks to male students in relationships.They were asked to describe and evaluate conflict in their relationship.The results show that

Accepted Answer

The results of the study indicate that the intoxicated participants reported more negative emotions and had a more negative view of their partner than the placebo or control group. Therefore, choice D is the best answer. The other options are not supported by the findings of the study.

Question 7

Which of the following conclusions concerning gender differences in aggression is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

Women can be physically aggressive toward their partners, but the statement that they are less likely than men to be physically aggressive is false, as research shows that women can be equally or more likely to engage in physical aggression in certain contexts.

Question 8

One problem with using archival data (e.g.,existing records of disturbances)to demonstrate that exposure to uncomfortable levels of heat causes people to behave aggressively is that

Question 9

_______ occurs when a person is thwarted on the way to an expected goal or gratification.

Accepted Answer

Frustration occurs when a person is blocked or prevented from achieving a desired or expected goal or gratification. It often leads to negative emotions such as anger, disappointment, and stress. While depression, low self-esteem, anger, and aggression may be a result of frustration, frustration itself is the feeling of being held back from achieving something, not the subsequent emotional response.

Question 11

Which of the following findings concerning aggression in men and women is TRUE?

Accepted Answer

Research indicates that in dating relationships, women are often reported to commit physical aggression as frequently, if not more so, than men. However, the severity and consequences of aggression tend to be greater when committed by men.

Question 12

DeWall and Bushman's (2009)study of the impact on aggression of heat-related,cold-related,or neutral words,found that those exposed to ________ words produced the most aggressive word completions.

Accepted Answer

DeWall and Bushman's study found that exposure to heat-related words led to more aggressive word completions, suggesting that thoughts of heat can increase aggressive thoughts or feelings.

Question 13

Desdemona is having a bad day.As she runs to answer the phone,she bangs her knee on the coffee table.Cursing and limping,Desdemona grabs the phone and tosses it across the room.She never did figure out who called.This is an example of

Accepted Answer

Desdemona's hostile aggression is likely caused by the pain she experienced when she banged her knee on the coffee table. This is an example of how pain can lead to aggressive behavior, which is known as hostile aggression.

Question 14

A large volume of research has revealed that,in everyday circumstances,aggression is less common among girls and women than among boys and men.Because these findings are _______,gender differences _______.

Accepted Answer

The statement acknowledges that the research findings are consistent, which suggests that this is a reliable trend. Additionally, it notes that these differences can be extremely important, which further highlights the significance of recognizing and understanding them. However, the statement also suggests that the gender differences are not strictly biological in nature, which would rule out options A and D, and not completely ambiguous, which would rule out option E. Finally, the statement does not suggest that the gender differences are small, which would rule out option B.

Question 15

Archer and McDaniel (1995)completed a cross-cultural study of adolescents' responses to conflict situations.Which of the following results from their 11-country study suggests that gender differences might be explained at least in part by cultural differences?

Accepted Answer

The result that women in some countries were more likely than men from other countries to endorse aggression suggests that cultural differences may contribute to gender differences in responses to conflict situations. If gender differences were solely biologically determined, we would expect to see consistent differences between men and women across all cultures. However, the fact that this was not the case suggests that cultural factors may play a role.

Question 16

Riots do occur more often on hot days than on cool days (Carlsmith & Anderson,1979).The hotter the day in a number of cities,the more violent crimes occur (Anderson & Anderson,1984; Rotton & Frey,1985).These results suggest that discomfort can lead to aggression.However,such results should be interpreted with caution because

Accepted Answer

The fact that discomfort can lead to aggression does not necessarily mean that it always does. Other factors such as individual differences, cultural norms, and situational cues may moderate or mediate the relationship between temperature and aggression. Therefore, it is important to consider potential third variables that may account for the observed relation.

Question 17

Which of the following is NOT a viable explanation for the relation between alcohol consumption and increased aggressiveness?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol typically acts as a depressant, reducing physiological arousal rather than increasing it.

Question 18

The implications of the study by McDonald,Zanna and Holmes (2000)on the effect of alcohol on perceptions of conflict in relationships are that

Accepted Answer

The study found that alcohol had a causal role in increasing perceptions of conflict in relationships. Participants who consumed alcohol reported more negative emotions and perceptions of their partners' behavior during the conflict tasks. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.

Question 19

In DeWall and Bushman's (2009)study of the impact on aggression of heat- or cold-related words,participants exposed to ________ words showed more ________.

Accepted Answer

DeWall and Bushman's study found that participants exposed to heat-related words showed more hostile attributions to others' behavior, indicating an increase in aggression.

Question 20

Applying the research findings of Debra Peplar and colleagues (2002),how soon would we want to introduce interventions to deal with alcohol abuse and dating violence?

Accepted Answer

According to the research findings of Debra Peplar and colleagues (2002), interventions to deal with alcohol abuse and dating violence should be introduced as early as age 11-12. This early intervention may help prevent the development of risky behaviors and promote healthy relationships.
