I'm not aware of any good studies to support this. Might just
cause side-effects.

Of the SSRI's, Prozac is one which is more likely to cause agitation as
a side-effect. Perhaps that results in the aggressiveness/assertiveness
noted?
I note that the 3rd abstract you linked to uses a dose of Prozac which
is quite high (60mg). That may have influenced the results.
