Heart rate response to alcohol and intoxicated aggressive behavior

Alcoholism, Clinical and Experimental Research

Abstract

This study examined the elevated heart rate (HR) response to alcohol intoxication, thought to reflect an increased sensitivity to alcohol-induced reward, as a potential factor in the increased likelihood of alcohol-induced aggression. Three groups, intoxicated high (n=37) and low (n=37) HR responders and sober controls (n=73), participated in a laboratory measure of physical aggression, the Taylor Aggression Paradigm. Results revealed that intoxicated high HR responders were more aggressive than the intoxicated low HR responders and sober controls. These findings are interpreted within a hypothetical model relating increased alcohol-induced aggression to a dysregulation in the motivational system responding to rewards.
