Abstract
Aggression conflict scores were obtained for 95 university female and 86 male Ss. Conflict scores were derived from Ss' responses to a group of concepts presented in the form of a semantic differential. Ss were considered to have aggression conflict if Ss described aggression as active and potent but negatively evaluated it. Results for females were in the hypothesized direction. Female Ss with aggression conflict scored higher on fanifest anxiety (p ≤ .01) and lower on ego strength (p ≤ .05) than nonconflicted Ss. The responses of conflicted male Ss were not found to be significantly related to either experimental variable. It was suggested that findings regarding female Ss may be useful for process-analysis-type research and that further descriptive work be undertaken regarding meaning of sex differences.
