“…This finding is consistent with previous research and with the idea that people with aggressive tendencies experience anger and hostility. From this viewpoint, it seems logical that if masculine traits are related to proneness to aggression, then these traits also relate with anger and hostility (Kinney et al 2001;Kogut et al 1992).…”

Bullying-victimization problems and aggressive tendencies in Spanish secondary schools students: the role of gender stereotypical traits

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents data concerning culturally prescribed gender traits and their influence on bullying/victimization problems and aggressive tendencies from a wide sample of 1,654 Spanish adolescents. The aims of this study were to clarify the effect of masculine traits on male and female secondary students' aggression, and also to explore the role of feminine traits in either the inhibition of aggression or the use of more covert forms. Results show that masculine stereotypical traits are related more strongly with bully perpetration, proneness to aggression and experience of anger and hostility in both sexes. In contrast, traditional feminine traits are negatively related with bullying perpetration and proneness to aggression. However, feminine traits are linked to male students' victimization. Results are discussed in the light of previous findings and are taken into consideration in the design of intervention practices in secondary schools.

“…2 Similarly, Hammock and Richardson [1992] used an electric shock aggression paradigm to demonstrate that masculinity is a better predictor of aggression than gender alone. Kogut et al [1992] found that women who endorse more masculine traits are more aggressive than low masculine endorsing women. Taken as a whole, research on gender roles suggests that men have been socialized to use aggression and tolerate pain as evidence of their masculinity [for a review see Bernardes et al, 2008;Richardson and Hammock, 2007].…”

The literature on pain and aggression has indicated that pain elicits aggression. However, research has generally examined pain as a situational variable and focused less on the dispositional ability of an individual to tolerate pain. The dearth of research on pain tolerance and aggression appears to contradict the existing theory on the aggression-eliciting effect of pain, in that studies have found a positive relationship between pain tolerance and aggression. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relationship between pain tolerance and aggression is moderated by sex and whether the positive relationship could be explained by masculine gender role conformity. A sample of 195 collegiate men and women completed trait measures and a laboratory assessment of pain tolerance. Results indicated that correlations between pain tolerance and trait aggression were significant and positive for men but not women. However, when men's conformity to masculine gender role was controlled for, the relationship between pain tolerance and trait aggression was nil and nonsignificant. Results are discussed in reference to socialization and maintenance of masculine status.

“…Also, the individual differences of hostile masculinity, hypermasculinity, and gender role masculinity (Anderson, 1997;Datlow, 1999;Kogut, Langley, & O'Neal, 1992;Lohr, 1996;LoPresto & Deluty, 1988;Malamuth, 1988;Norris, 1999) were excluded from analysis because these constructs only focus on male-on-female aggression. aggressive individual to retaliate" (p. 1147).…”

The authors conducted a comprehensive review to understand the relation between personality and aggressive behavior, under provoking and nonprovoking conditions. The qualitative review revealed that some personality variables influenced aggressive behavior under both neutral and provocation conditions, whereas others influenced aggressive behavior only under provocation. Studies that assessed personality variables and that directly measured aggressive behavior were included in the quantitative review. Analyses revealed that trait aggressiveness and trait irritability influenced aggressive behavior under both provoking and neutral conditions but that other personality variables (e.g., trait anger, Type A personality, dissipation-rumination) influenced aggressive behavior only under provoking conditions. The authors discuss possible relations between these patterns of aggressive behavior and the personality dimensions of Agreeableness and Neuroticism and consider implications for theories of aggression.Keywords: aggressive behavior, personality traits, Agreeableness, NeuroticismWith a few notable exceptions (e.g., Freud, 1929Freud, /1962, early theorizing and research on aggressive behavior focused on the effects of situational factors (e.g., Bandura, 1973;Dollard, Doob, Miller, Mowrer, & Sears, 1939). Empirical studies and metaanalytic reviews have shown that the presence of violent cues (e.g.,
