The Influence Of Anger Rumination And Ego Depletion On Aggression

Anger rumination refers to thinking about anger events repeatedly in anger.The researchers found that anger rumination increased aggression by consuming selfcontrol resources.According to the power model of self-control,self-control resources are limited,and it is difficult to conduct self-control behavior in the state of self-control loss.As anger meditation is a behavior that requires self-control resources,ego depletion may aggravate the impact of anger rumination on aggression.In view of this,this study adopts the experimental method to investigate the influence of rumination and ego depletion on aggression.In this study,2(ego depletion group / non self depletion group)× 2(anger ruminatino group / control group)was used.A total of 113 subjects were recruited in this study.Among them,the independent variable is anger rumination,the moderator variable is ego depletion,the covariant was trait anger,and the dependent variable was aggression.Stroop paradigm was used to manipulate the state of ego depletion,the experimental records were filled in to manipulate the anger rumination state,and the competition response time paradigm was used to measure the aggression level of the subjects.The conclusions are as follows:(1)Ego depletion can lead to the improvement of aggression,which shows that the aggression of ego depletion group is significantly higher than that of non ego depletion group.(2)Anger rumination can lead to the improvement of aggression,which shows that the aggression of anger rumination group is significantly higher than that of control group.(3)Ego depletion moderates the influence of anger rumination on aggression,which shows that the aggression level of subjects who have experienced anger rumination in ego depletion state is significantly higher than that in subjects without ego depletion state.(4)There was no significant difference in the aggression between the control group under the condition of ego depletion and the control group under the condition of non ego depletion.
