What is the TASS model? How does the model talk about aggressive reactions? In an experiment, participants either high or low in trait aggressiveness were given either low or high provocations. Describe the results
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
The Traits as Sensitivities to Situations model says that people's traits can be measured by the threshold at which they respond to a provocative situation. In other words, if you respond strongly to only a low provocation for empathy, then you're high in trait empathy. In terms of aggression, people high in trait aggression should respond to even a low provocation, whereas people low in the trait will require a very high provocation to respond. In an experiment, high trait-aggressive people reacted very aggressively from just a mild provocation. People low in the trait didn't respond to mild provocation, but did respond with strong aggression from a powerful provocation.
