Who is especially likely to overattribute hostile intentions to others?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reactive aggressors are more likely to overattribute hostile intentions to others because they are easily provoked and perceive threats that may not be present. Proactive aggressors, on the other hand, are more calculated in their aggression and may not necessarily assume hostile intentions without cause. The other two options, an altruistic do-gooder and a parent who applies negative reinforcement to children, do not necessarily have a direct relationship with overattribution of hostile intentions.
