Triggered displaced aggression (TDA) toward low-status people is more excessive than high-status people (Tanno, 2008). Present study examined buffering effect of TDA toward low-status targets via manipulating relationships between participants and targets. As predicted, good relationship (i.e., participants liked the targets) reduced aggression relative to bad relationship (i.e., participants disliked the targets) or noinformation control condition. Correlation indicated that the liking induced by good relationship reduced aggression, and anger which induced aggression reduced by good relationship. Additionally, result indicated that TDA toward bad relationship was more likely than no-information control condition (p=.074). This suggests that combination of negative attributes of targets facilitate TDA.
