    This study developed a competitive task to provoke hostility. The findings show this method effectively elicits measurable hostility behaviorally, physiologically, and emotionally.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychophysiology

    Background:

    • Hostility is a complex human emotion with significant implications for social interaction and well-being.
    • Measuring hostility often requires multi-modal approaches to capture its behavioral, physiological, and emotional components.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and validate a novel technique for eliciting hostility.
    • To assess the effectiveness of this technique in a controlled experimental setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A competitive reaction time task was designed with a 50% predetermined failure rate.
    • Participants experienced escalating white noise (loss) or administered noise to opponents (win).
    • Physiological measures (heart rate, skin conductance) and self-reported mood, aggression, and anxiety were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • The experimental task successfully induced hostility in participants.
    • Behavioral, physiological, and emotional responses indicated heightened aggression.
    • Both winning and losing conditions contributed to the elicitation of hostility.

    Conclusions:

    • The described competitive task is an effective method for experimentally eliciting hostility.
    • This technique allows for the multi-modal measurement of hostility, integrating behavioral, physiological, and emotional data.
    • The findings contribute to a better understanding of hostility induction and measurement in research settings.
