discussion question 1789

Part I:

Research has shown that men, on average, are somewhat more aggressive than women. But arguably the most interesting findings concerned the different types of aggression displayed by different genders. They concluded that men, more than women, tend to aggress in ways that produce pain and physical injury and not in ways that result in psychological or social harm. Further, women were more perceptive of the products of aggression for both the victim (harm) and the aggressor (guilt, anxiety, and possible danger). Eagly and Steffen concluded that the gender-based aggressive behavioral differences were a result of learned aspects of gender roles as well as other social roles. For part I you are to post a brief video (2 minutes or less) that shows ways either males are aggressive OR females are aggressive (not both). Discuss what your video portrays and how this is related to the male or female gender role (depending on whether you choose a male or female form of aggression in your video.
