“…For example, Camagey and Anderson (2007) found that attitudes toward war became more positive after 9/11 and remained high over a year later. Support for violence as part of the penal code becatne more positive immediately after 9/11 but was not sustained over time.…”

Research conducted in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks (9/11) suggests that, except for those who directly witnessed or suffered loss from the attacks, for most children the emotional impact was relatively transitory. We review this literature as well as consider other ways in which the attacks may have played a role in the development of adolescents and young adults as they came of age in the shadow of 9/11 in the United States. Specifically, we discuss the potential impact of the collective trauma of 9/11 on children's coping and emotional regulation, their sociopolitical attitudes, and their general beliefs about the world. Developmental issues and the role of parents in shaping their children's responses to 9/11 are also addressed. Researchers interested in children's social, emotional, and psychological development have much to learn about children's reactions to events like 9/11 and factors that might mitigate the negative consequences of such events on children's development.

“…Participants were asked to indicate the extent to which they agree or disagree with these statements, assessed on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1= strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree). This scale successfully predicted self-reported violent behavior and self-reported trait aggression, anger, and hostility (Carnagey & Anderson, 2007).…”

International audiencePrevious research has predominantly focused on negative effects of music exposure by demonstrating that listening to antisocial music increases aggression and aggression-related variables. The present research tests the idea that listening to prosocial (relative to neutral) music decreases aggressive outcomes. In fact, five studies revealed that prosocial music exposure decreased aggressive cognition, affect, and behavior. Mediational analyses showed that the effect of music condition on aggressive behavior was accounted for by differences in aggressive affect. Implications of these results for the predictive validity of the General Learning Model (Buckley & Anderson, 2006) for the effects of media exposure on social tendencies are discussed

“…Nevertheless, the GAM has also provided useful findings for understanding changes in violent attitudes toward war (Carnagey & Anderson, 2007), the effect of attention and impulsivity problems in aggressive behavior (Swing & Anderson, 2014), and even the relationship between personality and aggression (Barlett & Anderson, 2012;Housie, Gilbert, Simpson, & Daffern, 2013).…”

The aim of the study was to identify the direct and indirect existing relationship among personality traits on aggression of high school and undergraduate students from the city of João Pessoa, Brazil, using the General Aggression Model as the theoretical framework. The sample consisted of 218 students, of which 107 were high school students and 111 undergraduate students. The instruments used for data collection were as follows: Aggression Questionnaire, the Big Five Inventory and a Socio-Demographic Questionnaire. The main results showed direct effects of neuroticism (+), extraversion (+) and agreeableness (-) in physical aggression. On the other hand, indirect effects of neuroticism (+), opening (+) and agreeableness (-) in physical aggression, mediated by aggressive emotions have been found. These findings are discussed based on previous research and the General Aggression Model along with suggestions of research which have been conducted in an attempt to further knowledge in this area.
