Abstract

PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS MEASURED THE SUBJECT'S PERSONALITIES FOR AGGRESSIVENESS, ANXIETY, NEUROSIS, RIGIDITY, EXTRAVERSION, DOGMATISM, AND INTOLERANCE FOR AMBIGUITY AND AUTHORITY. THESE CHARACTERISTICS WERE CORRELATED WITH AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR AS MEASURED BY THE USE OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK IN AN ASSIGNED TASK. MULTIFACTOR ANALYSIS ISOLATED COMBINATIONS OF CHARACTERISTICS THAT WERE PREDICTORS FOR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR. --IN GERMAN
