Abstract

The present study sought to examine the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology and aggression using a highly controlled, quasi‐experimental laboratory‐based aggression paradigm among a sample of 85 undergraduate students not help‐seeking for current PTSD phenomena. Congruent with theory and past research, results showed that PTSD symptomatology was positively associated with aggression. In demonstrating this effect using a laboratory‐based methodology, the present study provides a heuristic for future researchers to explore potential mediators and moderators of the PTSD‐aggression relationship.
