The Effects of Caffeine and Provocation on Aggression.

Ferguson, Tamara J.; And Others

Journal of Research in Personality, v16 n1 p60-71 Mar 1982

Administered caffeine to males (N=39) who were provoked or not provoked by a partner. Provoked participants attributed their feelings to both the drug and their partner's behavior. Angered subjects were more aversive when thinking they had taken caffeine but reduced their aggression when told the drug was a placebo. (Author/JAC)
