“…Normative beliefs are important both in the regulation of aggressive behavior [Huesmann, 1988;Zumkley, 1984], and in determining people's reactions to harmful incidents [Pepitone, 1976[Pepitone, , 1981. Peer-report studies have shown that children and adolescents who believe that it is wrong to carry out an aggressive act are perceived as less aggressive compared with those who believe aggression is an appropriate response [Erdley and Asher, 1998;Henry et al, 2001;Salmivalli and Voeten, 2004].…”

Two studies investigated the role of beliefs about the acceptability of aggression (''normative beliefs'') against Jews in determining who would join an extremist group. In Study 1, students in a university in Pakistan (N 5 144) completed self-report attitude measures, and were subsequently approached by a confederate who asked whether they wanted to join an extremist anti-Semitic organization. Normative beliefs about aggression against Jews were very strong predictors of whether participants agreed to join. In Study 2, participants (N 5 92) were experimentally assigned to either a brief educational intervention, designed to improve intergroup relations, or to a control group. They also filled in self-report attitude measures pre and post intervention. Participants in the intervention group were much less likely to agree to join the extremist group, and this effect of the intervention on joining was mediated by changes in normative beliefs about aggression against Jews. The results have implications for theories of inter-group aggression and interventions to prevent people from being recruited into extremist groups. Aggr. Behav. 35:514-519, 2009.

“…In case of aggression, these goals and actions may be to retaliate, to restore self-esteem or reputation, to hurt the enemy, or generally, to remove or destroy the source of frustration Fabes & Eisenberg, 1992;Kornadt, 1982aKornadt, , 2011. Following goal attainment, the whole system becomes deactivated as demonstrated experimentally (Kornadt, 1982a;Zumkley, 1984). Similar to the concept of fear of failure in the achievement motive, the concept of aggression inhibition has to be taken into account in the explanation of the development of aggression.…”

“…It is necessary to integrate multiple and diverse literature on the association between child abuse and aggressive behavior. The reviews of Assink et al (2018) and Mohammadi et al (2014) focused on individuals who encountered child abuse in early childhood, while individuals’ aggressive behaviors were examined in the studies of Hershcovis et al (2007) and Zumkley (1994). These reviews imply that past reviews often examined child abuse and aggressive behaviors but not both (Assink et al, 2018; Hershcovis et al, 2007; Van der Put et al, 2018).…”

Child abuse is considered to be an essential factor in the development of aggressive behavior. The intensity of the positive relations between child abuse and aggressive behavior differed considerably among researches despite the fact that abundant studies have observed this relation. According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach, a three-level meta-analysis was employed to obtain reliable estimates for the sizes of effects and investigate some potential moderators of the relation between child abuse and aggressive behavior. The present study obtained 51 studies (30,566 participants; 680 effect sizes) through performing the detailed literature search. It was found that child abuse was positively associated with aggressive behavior in the current study. In addition, the present meta-analysis observed significant moderating effects for type of child abuse, culture, measurement of child abuse, and publication year in the association between child abuse and aggressive behavior. This study suggests that child abuse is a predictor for the development of aggressive behavior in humans. Moreover, child abuse is an important aspect for consideration in efforts toward strengthening of interventions targeting individuals’ aggressive behavior.
