AB  - The focus of this doctoral thesis is to investigate the influence of experimentally induced social and non-social provocation on behaviour, emotion and physiological responses of men and women. The emphasis is primarily laid on provocation factors of non-social origin. The relevance of working on this topic is mainly justified by the limited number of studies in which both factors, social and non-social provocation, are compared. 14 female and 14 male healthy participants are compared. After ascertaining of neuropsychological standard tests and standardised self-assessment questionnaires, two aggression-inducing paradigms are carried out on the computer, which are presented alternately in pseudo-randomised chronology. In order to determine the physiological component skin conductance (SCR), the electrodermal activity (EDA) is measured. The Technical Provocation Paradigm (TPP) has been developed to investigate the influential variable "non-social provocation". In this paradigm, the provocation factor is operationalized via a manipulated joystick as well as rule-breaking reward losses which prevent the participants from playing successfully. The joystick represents the behavioural component in the extent of its operation. In addition, positive and negative emotions are measured continuously. The paradigm PSAP is applied to assess the reaction to social provocation. In this task the primary goal of the subjects is to collect points by pressing buttons quickly in order to earn money. At the same time, there are also the options of money withdrawal from the virtual opponent (reactive aggression) and protection against money withdrawal by the opponent. In both social and non-social contexts, provocations largely lead to emotional, physiological and behavioural changes in both women and men. In addition, the social provocation context seemed to even function as an enhancer for the non-social provocation context in men. Nonsocial provocation in particular shows a strong effect and can therefore be described in this experimental comparison as a powerful way to induce frustration. Gender differences are only present in this work independently of provocation and refer mainly to transfer effects of previous provocation factors.
