Abstract
A field study was conducted to test the following hypotheses: Canadian Ss will be more aggressive when (a) they are frustrated close to the goal than when they are frustrated away from the goal; (b) they are frustrated by an East Indian than by European confederates (Cs); (c) they are frustrated by younger than by older Cs; (d) they are frustrated by a C who breaks into a queue without saying “excuse me” than after saying “excuse me”; (e) they are male rather than female, and (f) they are male and closer to goal when frustrated than if they are female or if they are of either sex and away from the goal. Two East Indians and two European Canadian Cs frustrated 320 male and female Canadians in 32 experimental conditions. A five-way analysis of variance confirmed the above hypotheses.
