Credits: 2 Credit Hours
 
Aggression is a complex social behavior with multiple causes and manifestations. The majority of related existing research is focused on men. Yet, field-based research has identified more similarities than differences in aggressive behavior between men and women. While women are more likely to use indirect aggression, men and women share similar motivations and behavioral strategies in intimate partner violence, alcohol induced violence, and sexual violence perpetration. Imaging studies show similar results between structural abnormalities and aggressive behavior across genders. Gender-specific and theory-driven hypothesis testing are needed to uncover biological and behavioral differences in aggression between men and women.
