Exposure to Alcohol- Related Images Can Lead to Aggression, MU Study Find.
By Jeff Nu
This article was an experiment on 246 undergraduate students. I was amazed at what the study found. You dont have to drink to be at risk of aggressive behavior. All you have to do is be exposed to alcohol-related images. The study split the subjects into two experiments.
The first experiment had 121 participants; they were shown alcohol-related images, images of weapons and neutral images, such as plants. They were exposed to a word either aggressive or neutral. The participants were faster to identify aggressive related words.
The second experiment had 125 participants and they were tested according to the beliefs on drinking alcohol and feeling ill. Some were assigned to alcohol related images and some were not. They were to read a short paragraph. The group that was exposed to the alcoholic images viewed the character in paragraph as hostile.
I wonder if I take a study on road rage, will I find alcoholic beverage on billboards along the route. Mmmmm.
I chose this article, because I have had a battle with alcohol for years. Thanks to Jesus, I was able to finally win that battle.
I heard that there are images that flash during some television commercials that effects thinking. I would like to find an article to support that.
What I benefit from this article is that, it gives me an example of how experiments are preformed. And how results are determined.
