  • Title: Shock-elicited aggression as a function of acute and chronic ethanol challenges.
    Author: Tramill JL, Gustavson K, Weaver MS, Moore SA, Davis SF.
    Journal: J Gen Psychol; 1983 Jul; 109(1st Half):53-8. PubMed ID: 6684675.
    Abstract:
    In a test of competing hypotheses regarding the effects of alcohol on shock-elicited aggression, animals maintained on a food restricted regimen were administered either chronic or acute ethanol challenges. Chronic Ss showed a significantly higher rate of target-directed aggression and spent significantly more time in aggressive activity than did acute or saline control animals. Results support the proposed interactive effect of food restriction and extended periods of alcohol intake leading to increased aggression.
