Abstract

The replication, with 30 Ss, was conducted under Australian driving conditions. Status and sex of the drivers were the 2 conditions in the design. It was hypothesized that high-status drivers would induce less horn sounding than low-status drivers, and that less aggression would be expressed against females than against males. The index of expressed aggression was the latency of the 1st. honk sounded by the blocked driver. No differences in latency as a function of status were found, however, female drivers aroused less aggression than males.
