Female Partners for Male Police

The Effect on Shooting Responses

Sixteen male state police troopers with either a male or a female partner responded to a training film designed to provoke impulsive aggression. Troopers and partners fired blank loads directly at a movie screen when they felt it would have been appropriate to do so had the situations depicted in the movie been occurring in real life. The hypothesis, that female presence would affect shooting responses of male troopers, was confirmed. Troopers with female partners fired more often and with fewer errors than did troopers with male partners. The results are discussed in terms of two models of aggressive behavior and the practical applications of the findings.
