2017, Aggression and Violent BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Two studies have examined the incidence of aggressive scripts (note the term scripts was not used, the focus was on thoughts of killing another person, which they referred to as homicidal fantasy) and the triggers activating the process of rehearsal. Kenrick and Sheets (1993) asked undergraduates to provide detailed descriptions of their most recent thoughts of killing another person, assessing the frequencies, triggers and relationship to the target of the fantasies. Overall, the majority acknowledged at least one homicidal fantasy (68–69%), with the most commonly identified triggers for these fantasies including personal threat, public humiliation and threats to another person.
