This article reports a citation analysis of research on human aggression. Citations from articles on aggression were culled from Aggressive Behavior, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Journal of Personality, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Journal of Research in Personality, Journal of Social Psychology, and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin for the 3-yr. period 1980–1982. Out of 1194 books and journal articles, 35 were cited three or more times and were included in this list of influential publications. The three most often cited publications were Baron's Human aggression, Bandura's Aggression: a social learning analysis, and Buss' The psychology of aggression. The frequency of citation by author was also analyzed and reported.
This article reviews the experimental social psychology literature addressing the relation between drinking and sexuality in normal adult populations. In particular, it examines the role that psychosocial, as opposed to pharmacological, factors may play in alcohol's reputation as an aphrodisiac. The action of learned cognitive expectancies and social meanings surrounding drinking are illustrated in the differential effects that drinking has on the sexual reactions of men and women and of persons with differing personality dispositions. It is concluded that to the extent alcohol serves as an aphrodisiac, it is largely through psychosocially-determined interpretations of physical states and the ease with which attributions to drinking can be used to explain violations of sexual propriety that otherwise would have ego threatening implications.
Corrigendum to “Viewing the world through “blood-red tinted glasses”: The hostile expectation bias mediates the link between violent video game exposure and aggression.” [Journal of Experimental Social Psychology 48 (2012) 953–956]
