OBJECTIVE Ostracism is distressing to those who experience it and people are motivated to find ways to cope, including self-medication or aggression. However, we know little about how alcohol intoxication may affect individuals' reactions to ostracism. This study investigates predictions informed by Alcohol Myopia Theory to observe how alcohol influences changes to one's affect, basic needs fulfillment, and aggression following ostracism. METHOD Participants (N = 97) were randomly assigned to either consume an alcohol, placebo, or nonalcohol beverage, and then participate in a game that simulated ostracism. Following this, participants engaged in a task wherein they were able to aggress against an ostensible ostracizer. Affect and basic psychological needs were measured at baseline, post-ostracism, and post-aggression timepoints. RESULTS Results indicated that all groups reacted adversely to ostracism and experienced partial recovery toward baseline for negative and positive affect and basic psychological needs. Further, alcohol facilitated recovery across these outcomes post-aggression for participants who felt more intoxicated. Alcohol, relative to the control beverages, increased ostracizer-directed aggression intensity for low trait physically aggressive, but not highly aggressive, people. CONCLUSION This randomized study provides novel preliminary evidence suggesting that alcohol enhances aggressive urges toward ostracizers in those who are not typically aggressive. Those who feel more drunk when intoxicated, compared to those who feel less so, may experience greater recovery from ostracism after aggressing toward an ostracizer hinting at potentially pleasurable effects that must be replicated in future studies.

酒精、情感和攻击性：对排斥后酒精影响的调查。

客观排斥让那些经历过它的人感到痛苦，人们有动力寻找应对方法，包括自我治疗或攻击。然而，我们对酒精中毒如何影响个人对排斥的反应知之甚少。这项研究调查了酒精近视理论所提供的预测，以观察酒精如何影响一个人的情感、基本需求的满足和排斥后的攻击性。方法 参与者 (N = 97) 被随机分配到饮用酒精、安慰剂或非酒精饮料，然后参加模拟排斥的游戏。在此之后，参与者参与了一项任务，他们能够攻击表面上的排斥者。在基线、排斥后和攻击后时间点测量影响和基本心理需求。结果 结果表明，所有组都对排斥反应不利，并在消极和积极影响以及基本心理需求方面经历了部分恢复。此外，对于那些感觉更醉的参与者，酒精促进了这些结果在攻击后的恢复。相对于对照饮料，酒精会增加针对身体攻击性低但攻击性不高的人的排斥者定向攻击强度。结论 这项随机研究提供了新的初步证据，表明酒精会增强那些通常不具有攻击性的人对排斥者的攻击性冲动。醉酒时感觉更醉的人，与感觉不​​那么醉的人相比，
