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 |
