Gender Studies on Aggression - Dictionary of Arguments

Slater I 185
Aggression/Gender Studies: Bandura et al. (1961)(1) distinguished between physical and verbal aggression. Researchers today still make that distinction but have also added a distinction between direct aggression and indirect aggression (sometimes called social or relational aggression). Relational aggression has been defined as harming others through purposeful manipulation and damage of their social relationships (Crick & Grotpeter, 1995)(2). Relational aggression can take many forms, such as spreading rumors about someone, saying mean things behind someone’s back, and excluding someone from a peer group.

Early work suggested that girls were more likely to engage in relational aggression than boys (Crick & Grotpeter, 1995)(2), but more recently, there has been controversy in the literature regarding whether there are gender differences in relational aggression (Delveaux & Daniels, 2000(3); Salmivalli & Kaukiainen, 2004(4); Underwood, Galenand, & Paquette, 2001(5)).
