摘要：

Correlations between aggressiveness and its components and plasma concentrations of norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (EPI), testosterone (T), cortisol (Cort) and prolactin (Prl) were studied in 158 physically and psychologically healthy male volunteers, Global aggressiveness, examined directly in the probands by the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI), was not correlated with any of the biochemical parameters investigated, but reports by first-degree relatives and spouses showed positive correlations between global aggressiveness and NE and T levels. The BDHI scores for 'irritability' and 'resentment' were positively correlated with NE, T and Cort.
