Abstract
The paper describes a method of objectively measuring induced aggression in college students. Those in the experimental (verbally threatened) group expressed aggression by sabotaging E's “research project.” The extent of aggression was measured by the number of Ss making errors and the total numbers of errors made by the experimental group as compared to the control group. More Ss in the experimental group made errors as compared to the control groups. Experimental Ss also made proportionately more errors.
