Research has identified appetitive aggression, i.e., the perception of committed,
violent acts as appealing, exciting and fascinating, as a common phenomenon
within populations living in precarious and violent circumstances. Investigating
demobilized soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) demonstrated that
violent offending is associated with appetitive aggression and not necessarily
with symptoms of posttraumatic stress. In the present study, we sought to
replicate these results in an independent and larger sample of demobilized
soldiers from Burundi. As with the Congolese ex-combatants, random forest
regression revealed that the number of lifetime perpetrated violent acts is the
most important predictor of appetitive aggression and the number of lifetime
experienced traumatic events is the main predictor for posttraumatic stress.
Perpetrated violent acts with salient cues of hunting (pursuing the victim, the
sight of blood, etc.) were most predictive for perceiving violent cues
appealingly after demobilization. Moreover, the association of violent acts and
appetitive aggression as well as traumatic events and posttraumatic stress
remains strong even years after demobilization. Patterns of traumatic events and
perpetrated acts as predictors for posttraumatic stress and appetitive aggression
seem to be robust among different samples of ex-combatants who fought in civil
wars. Psychotherapeutic interventions that address these complementary facets of
combat-related disorders-namely, posttraumatic stress and appetitive
aggression-are indispensable for a successful reintegration of those who fought
in armed conflicts and to achieve a successful transition to peace.
