Answer to Question 1

Independently, both negative affect and high arousal tend to increase aggression. But in
combination, arousal and affect can lead to either more or less aggression. For
example, among people who are experiencing negative affect, those who are highly
aroused are particularly likely to be aggressive. High arousal also tends to increase
aggression among people who are experiencing neutral affect. Among people who are
experiencing positive affect, however, high arousal can either increase aggression
(through excitation transfer) or decrease aggression (given the incompatibility of strong
positive feelings and unpleasant angry feelings).
