ELICITATION OF AGGRESSION BY A PHYSICAL BLOW

N H AZRIN et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1965 Jan.

Abstract

Squirrel monkeys were exposed to brief tail-pinches in the presence of a cloth-covered ball. Attack was elicited against the ball as a direct function of the force of the tail-pinch. This finding in conjunction with previous findings regarding electric shock and intense heat demonstrates that several types of aversive stimulation can elicit aggression.
