- Abstract
The article focuses on the effect of stress on self-attribution of hostility among ego control patterns. The role which personality factors play in determining the perception of various attributes such as hostility, dominance, and favorability has been the focus of much recent study. Previous studies dealing with attribution of hostility to self and others have delineated four ego control patterns repressers, persons who respond to threatening situations predominantly with avoidance techniques, sensitizers, persons who respond to these situations with approach type defenses, expressers, persons who are uninhibited, and who respond directly to counter perceived threats with a tendency toward impulse expression relatively openly without anxiety or guilt. The attribution of hostility to others by these ego control groups is not invariant, but apparently varies as a function of many factors, among these the rater's and ratee's sex as well as the type and length of relationship involved between the rater and ratee.
