The Influence Of Instrumental Group Relationship And Impulsivity On Performance Monitoring Of Aggressive Behavior

Aggression is an interpersonal or intergroup act that is designed to cause harm to another person or group.How to monitor aggressive behavior has become a major concern of the society.Threat detection and response inhibition may be two important processes for performance monitoring of aggression.Instrumental group relationships and impulsive personality traits are important factors.This study starts from the theory of aggression behavior and monitors the blind spots and bottlenecks of the response to the behavior of the attack:First,it is unclear whether performance monitoring process of aggressive behavior is constituted by threat detection and response inhibition.Second,the performance monitoring of aggressive behavior will be regulated by which factors.Based on a detailed analysis of the causes of the above bottlenecks-experimental paradigm of performance monitoring of aggressive behavior,manipulation of threat information,and limitations of the performance monitoring theory gap of the aggressive behavior,this study relies on threat-related stress hormone indicators.The unique advantages of ERP,combined with behavioral and electrophysiological observation indicators,from the perspective of performance monitoring of aggression,drawing on the experimental paradigm of performance monitoring in general cognitive research,using self-edited intergroup threat pictures and Chinese characters as experimental materials.Through a series of experiments,performance monitoring processing mechanism of aggressive behavior were investigated.Finally,the influence of more common personality variables and situation variables on the monitoring of aggression behavior is discussed.The main findings are as follows:(1)Performance monitoring of aggression is jointly predicted by threat sensitivity(ie threat detection)and response inhibition(2)In terms of threat sensitivity,the sensitivity of individuals to aggressive threats is higher than that of symbolic threats than the sensitivity of real threats.Individuals are more sensitive to immediate threats than delay threats.Individuals are more sensitive to high probability threats than to low probability threats.(3)In terms of threat sensitivity,high impulsives are more sensitive than those with low impulsivity.For those with low impulsiveness,the sensitivity to symbolic threats is greater than that of aggressive threats,and greater than the threat of reality;for highly impulsive people,the sensitivity to aggressive threats is greater than the symbolic threats,and greater than the actual threats.The interaction between threat probability and impulsivity is significant.For high impulsiveness,the threat sensitivity of the subjects under high probability conditions is greater than the threat sensitivity of the subjects under low probability conditions.(4)Implicit group identity increases threat sensitivity,implicit intergroup bias increases threat sensitivity,and explicit intergroup bias weakens threat sensitivity.Implicit intergroup bias is more sensitive to real threats and symbolic threats than to aggressive threats.Sensitivity to aggressive threats is more sensitive to aggressive threats and more sensitive to symbolic threats when implicit explicit bias is consistent.When the implicit external bias is inconsistent,the sensitivity to real threats and sensitivity to symbolic threats are more sensitive than aggressive threats.(5)In response inhibition,the attenuating effect of aggressive threats on response inhibition is greater than that of symbolic threats than real threats.Under high cognitive load conditions,the response under aggressive threats is faster than the response under symbolic threats,faster than the response under realistic threats.There were no significant differences under low cognitive load conditions.Explain that cognitive load may weaken the attack behavior that the threat provokes.(6)High impulsiveness has lower response inhibition than low impulsivity.Cognitive load is an important factor that weakens the ability of high impulsive patients to respond.The difference in response inhibition ability of impulsive persons is related to attention retention,transfer,and the like.Action impulsivity is inversely related to response inhibition.The higher the unplanned impulsiveness,the lower the ability to delete irrelevant information.The higher the cognitive impulsivity,the more likely it is that irrelevant information cannot be removed from WM.In the case of irrelevant information processing,under low conditions,the ability of low impulsiveness to delete irrelevant information is higher than that of high impulsiveness;(7)In response inhibition,the high-naked group agrees to weaken the reaction inhibition ability.High exogenous intergroup bias has a weakening effect on response inhibition.When the implicit explicit intergroup bias is consistent,the aggression threat has a weakening effect on the reaction inhibition than the symbolic threat is greater than the real threat.When the implicit external group bias is inconsistent,the weakening effect of the real threat on the reaction inhibition is greater than the symbolic threat is greater than the aggressive threat.In summary,the response monitoring of aggression is jointly predicted by threat detection and response suppression.Threat types,instrumental group relationships(group identity and intergroup bias),and impulsivity are all important factors in monitoring response to aggression.First,the types,timing,and probability of impulsivity,group identity,intergroup bias,and threats may influence threat detection levels(ERN)through threat perception.Moreover,the impact of threat detection by group identity and intergroup bias mainly occurs at the implicit level,which is consistent with the unconscious feature of threat detection.Secondly,the effects of impulsiveness,group identity,intergroup bias and threat type on response inhibition do not occur in the reaction inhibition process itself(no P3 occurs),but on the selection of information and the suppression of irrelevant information(P2).It may indicate that response inhibition is primarily related to the interpretation of threats and cognitive attribution.Again,the relationship between impulsivity and response inhibition is related to cognitive load.Unplanned impulsivity and cognitive impulsivity may be related to the ability to delete information that is not available.Unplanned impulsivity,impulsivity,and cognitive impulses are all related to processing speed.
