[The role of anxiety as motivation in the genesis of manslaughter].
Presented below are the results of comparative analysis of the motivational role of anxiety in man-slaughter based on six subgroups of perpetrators isolated with the help of cluster analysis according to the types and kinds of leading themes of their action. The statistical analysis of the data of a 105 cases of perpetrators of man-slaughter revealed that anxiety played a differentiating role in the psychological mechanisms which are supposed to lay at the bottom of the crime of man-slaughter. This was especially true of those actions governed by psychological processes which are concerned with the relationship between anxiety and the type and level of interpersonal aggression. It may be concluded that aggression, as well as the anxiety at its base, differ as to their genesis, motivation and course. The results do not support a single universal concept about the actions of perpetrators of man-slaughter, but support the heterogeneity of personality factors of such people, the criminogenic factors of situations and the motivational mechanisms which lead to such action.
