TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - "I'm sorry, please don't hurt me": effectiveness of apologies on aggression control JO - Journal of social psychology A1 - Frederickson, Joel Daniel SP - 579 EP - 581 VL - 150 IS - 6 N2 - The author attempted to replicate Ohbuchi, Kameda, and Agarie's (1989) study which found that giving an apology, with or without harm removal, reduced aggressive responses among a sample of Japanese college women. The author found similar results with a U.S. sample of college women. The results provide evidence for cross-cultural similarity in the effectiveness of apologies in reducing aggressive responses.
