We are recruiting forensic outpatients, as well as outpatients from the Anger Disorders Clinic to examine the relationship between violent thinking and behaviour. The aim is to advance the understanding of violent thinking, its assessment, and its role in violent behaviour. This study involves answering a computerized task which asks about the way you think about violence, your past behaviour, and how you may behaviour in future scenarios. You will also be asked to complete some response time measures. These measures will ask you to sort words into categories that are presented on the computer screen. The session occurs one time only and takes 45 min-1 hour to complete. You will be paid $20 in compensation.
