Summary
In Australia, alcohol-induced aggression imposes substantial psychological, public health, social, and economic burdens on victims, perpetrators, and society. When people drink and brood over interpersonal transgresssions, they are at increased risk of violence, even toward the innocent. The goal of the proposed research is to identify neuropsychological mechanisms that account for this increased aggression.
