ELICITATION OF AGGRESSION BY A PHYSICAL BLOW1

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.
