The moderating effect of trigger intensity on triggered displaced aggression
Article Abstract:
The triggered displaced aggression (TDA) paradigm provides an experimental vehicle for exploring the occurrence of excessive retaliation in response to a seemingly trivial triggering event. It was found that disjunctively escalated aggressive behavior occurred only among previously provoked participants when responding to the mild triggering event, but not the moderately strong or neutral trigger.
