Abstract
One hundred and twenty Caucasians selected and administered a variable amount of presumed electric shock to victims (actually Confederates) for verbal errors with the following results: Ss with higher MMPI hostility scores inflicted higher shocks. Male Ss had higher MMPI hostility scores and delivered stronger shocks than females. Male victims received stronger shocks than females. Negro victims received stronger shocks than Whites. Error words with hostile connotations evoked higher shocks than neutral and affectionate words.
