| Abstract | Experimental studies show that manipulated rumination increases aggressive responding to perceived provocations. This study expands on previous work by instead manipulating negative mood and measuring naturally-occurring rumination and subsequent aggression. A pair of studies found that both angry and sad moods increased self-reported rumination, compared to neutral mood. Moreover, angry mood generally led to increased aggression. Study 1 failed to show an association between rumination, hostile attributions, and aggressive intentions. However, Study 2 found robust correlational links between increased rumination and aggressive responding to a mild trigger. Furthermore, although rumination led to increased angry and sad moods following a mild trigger, only angry mood mediated the association between rumination and increased aggression. Interpretations and implications of these results are discussed. |
