Abstract

Meta-analytically examines experimental studies that include violent cues in the setting and assesses the effects of aversive provocation on gender differences in aggression. The results show that when violent cues are present, men are more aggressive than women under neutral unprovoked conditions, However, when they are exposed to both violent cues and aversive provocation, men and women are equally aggressive, Differences in individual reactivity to violent cues as wed as the type of aggressive response and the sex of the target also affected the magnitude of gender differences in the presence of violent cues.
