Abstract

Many attempts have been made to "model" the putative link between alcohol and "aggression" using a variety of situations employing a wide range of animal species. In general, these attempts have proved somewhat disappointing. One reason for this appears to be the fact that the different "aggression" tests tap varied mixtures of offensive, defensive and predatory motivations (i.e., they are not homogenous). Indeed, one can make the claim that the majority of examples of "aggression" associated with alcohol-ingesting humans are inappropriate (nonadaptive) responses whereas many animal models tap adaptive territorial or socially competitive actions. A further problem is that alcohol has very wide-ranging effects on neurophysiology and endocrine functioning. Recent evidence from studies on infra-human animals and clinical situations suggests that some of alcohol's effects on social conflict are expressed by actions in signaling and perception rather than motivation. This aspect is briefly examined in some studies with laboratory mice.

动物攻击模式的多样性:它们对假定的酒精/攻击联系的影响。
人们曾多次尝试利用各种各样的动物物种,对酒精与“攻击性”之间的假定联系进行“建模”。总的来说,这些尝试有些令人失望。造成这种情况的一个原因似乎是,不同的“侵略”测试利用了攻击、防御和掠夺动机的不同混合(即,它们不是同质的)。事实上,人们可以断言,大多数与人类饮酒有关的“攻击”行为都是不适当的(非适应性的)反应,而许多动物模型则利用适应性的领土或社会竞争行为。另一个问题是,酒精对神经生理学和内分泌功能有非常广泛的影响。最近对非人类动物和临床情况的研究表明,酒精对社会冲突的一些影响是通过信号和感知行为而不是动机来表达的。在实验室小鼠的一些研究中简要地检查了这方面。
