Question Answer
Social learning theory Bandura, Ross and Ross; Johnson; Noble
Bandura, Ross and Ross affect of role models on aggressive behaviour. gender effect
Johnson et al found that play aggression in children was highly correlated with actual aggression.
Noble Reports overhearing a little girl.
Deindividuation Festinger et al, Zimbardo, Malmuth and Check. Zimbardo et al, Postmes and Spears
Festinger et al proposed a theory based on Le Bons 'crowd theory' where anonymity of being in a crowd means that individuals feel less responsible for their actions. Then a 'collective mindset' takes over the crowd and normally repressed aggressive acts occur
Zimbardo Disagreed with Le Bons 'collective mindset' he said that anonymity leads to a release from self restraints against negative behaviours, increased emotional behaviour, increased irrational thinking, and increase in impulsive behaviour
Malmuth and Check 1/3 would rape, Us students
Zimbardo et al Stanford prison, ethical problem had to be stopped
Postmes and Spears Conducted a meta analysis but found mixed results, many studies did not support theory of deindividuation
Institutional aggression Irwin and Cressey, Sykes, Irwin and Cressey 2, Cheeseman, McCorkle et al
Irwin and Cressey proposed importation model, three subcultures; Crime/theft, Convict, Conventional 'straight'
Sykes identified five deprivational factors;liberty (freedom), autonomy (cannot decide what happens to them daily), goods/services (possessions), heterosexual relationships, security (fear for their own safety)
Irwin and Cressey 2 found that one off offenders were percieved by others as 'straight' and not part of the aggressive subculture
Cheeseman found that it was not deprivation itself that leaded to aggression but the fact it increased stress levels
McCorkcle et al Found that deprivation model did not explain aggression in prisons and that bad management was much more important as was, high staff turnover, lack of staff dicipline
Genetic factors Professor Jim Fallon, Cases et al, Brunner at al, New et al
Proffessor Jim Fallon real world example; had a faulty copy of MAOA and brain activity of a psycho. he had a good upbringing, does not show high levels of aggression
Cases et al. Created mice without the MAOA gene. These mice lack serotonin, demonstrated inc levels of aggression. Also suggested the lack of a working copy of MAOA inc aggressive behaviour
Brunner et al found that males in a large Dutch faily all had a faulty copy of the MAOA and were all aggressive when angry, fearful or frustrated
New et al Found the the HTR1B influences serotinin levels also involved in aggressive behaviour, suggesting MAOA is reductionist
Neural and hormonal mechanisms Connor and Levine, Delville et al
Connor and levine Rat castration at birth and during puberty red. aggression, effect of age of castration, developmental effect, problem with castration as it changes many different hormone levels
Delville et al drugs that inc levels of serotonin red. level of aggression
Evolution, infedelity, jealousy Lorenz, Buss, Daly, Harris
Lorenz believes humans share aggressive traits with other animals and that aggression is found in males as they would have to compete with other males to mate with a female
Buss researched jealousy and believes men worried and sexual, women about emotional
Daly et al Found that men are most likely to be violent when their partners are unfaithful
Harris conducted a meta analysis and found women affected my emotion, men by sexual
Evolutionary explanations of group displays Maynard-Smith and Parker, Schwarz and Barkey, Sua Peter, Blalock
Maynard-Smith and Parker found many species show territorial ownership of resources. Animals were also more likely to try and prevent other competitors from taking their resources or challenging them
Schwarz and Barkey found that sports teams win more home games due to group displays
Sua Peter samoan rugby team
Blalock proposed 'power threat hypothesis' to explain the lynching. as black communities grew in size and status, whites felt threatened resulted to lynching to keep black people in their place
