An investigation of the relationship between intolerance of ambiguity and aggression

The relationship between overt aggression and intolerance of ambiguity was investigated. Thirty-two junior high school boys were chosen by one of their teachers because they were either one of the more overtly aggressive students or one of the better adjusted students. Each subject received on overt aggression rating according to a rating scale supplied to the teacher. Later the subjects were given the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study and the Decision-Location Test of intolerance of ambiguity. No significant differences were found between the aggressive subjects and the well-adjusted subjects on either the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study or the Decision-Location Test.
