Developmental Psychology on Aggression - Dictionary of Arguments

Slater I 179
Aggression/Developmental psychology: Bandura’s work (Bandura et al 1961)(1) (..) had an impact on the study or the development of aggression by introducing the concept that aggressive behavior can be the result of forces outside the realm of behaviorism.

For example, not only could aggression result from imitative learning from an aggressive model in a laboratory setting, but aggression could be learned through witnessing interparental violence (Jouriles, Norwood, McDonald, Vincent, & Mahoney, 1996)(2), experiencing corporal punishment (Gershoff, 2002)(3), living in a dangerous neighborhood (Colder, Mott, Levy, & Flay, 2000)(4), and a host of other experiences that have now come to represent a range of factors that put a child at risk for developing aggressive behavior problems.

Slater I 180
(…) developmental models of aggression following Bandura’s work have focused on a range of factors that contribute to trajectories of aggression over time (e.g., Loeber & Stouthamer-Loeber, 1998(5); Moffitt, 1993(6); Patterson, 1982(7)). Moffitt (1993)(6) proposed a life course-persistent versus adolescence-limited developmental taxonomy of aggression. The hallmark of life-course-persistent offenders is the continuity of antisocial behavior across the life-course, with the form this behavior takes changing with development (e.g., biting and hitting at age four, robbery and rape at age 22; Moffitt, 1993)(6).
