Hypothesis 1:
A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a significant effect
of perceived threat level on pre-emptive aggression, F(df) = XX.XX, p
<.05. Post-hoc analyses using Tukey's HSD test indicated that
participants in the high perceived threat condition exhibited
significantly higher levels of pre-emptive aggression (M = XX.XX, SD
=XX.XX) compared to both the medium (M = XX.XX, SD = XX.XX)
and low (M = XX.XX, SD = XX.XX) threat conditions, ps < .05.
However, there was no significant difference in pre-emptive
aggression between the medium and low threat conditions, p > .05.
Hypothesis 2:
An independent samples t-test revealed that participants who had
oneway points2rev threat, tabulate
