Research on oxytocin (OT) indicates that it has stress reducing effects. This leads to opposing predictions of decreased and increased aggression which we examine in this study. Following completion of a state anxiety measure and administration of OT... Read More about Effects of oxytocin on women’s aggression depend on state anxiety.

Impulsivity has often been invoked as a proximate driver of different life-history strategies. However, conceptualisations of “impulsivity” are inconsistent and ambiguities exist regarding which facets of impulsivity are actually involved in the cana...

Gender symmetry in intimate aggression: An effect of intimacy or target sex? (2011)

Men's greater use of direct aggression is not evident in studies of intimate partner aggression. In previous research, the effects of target sex and relationship intimacy have frequently been confounded. This study sought to examine these effects sep...

Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis (2011)
Journal Article
Cross, C., Copping, L., & Campbell, A. (2011). Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis. Psychological Bulletin, 137(1), 97-130. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0021591

Men are overrepresented in socially problematic behaviors, such as aggression and criminal behavior, which have been linked to impulsivity. Our review of impulsivity is organized around the tripartite theoretical distinction between reward hypersensi... Read More about Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis.

Oxytocin and human social behaviour (2010)

Despite a general consensus that oxytocin (OT) has prosocial effects, there is no clear agreement on how these effects are achieved. Human research on OT is reviewed under three broad research initiatives: attachment and trust, social memory, and fea... Read More about Oxytocin and human social behaviour.

Attachment, aggression and affiliation: The role of oxytocin in female social behaviour (2008)
Journal Article

The peptide hormones oxytocin and vasopressin have been implicated in a range of mammalian social behaviors including maternal care, pair bonding and affiliation. Oxytocin is of special relevance to female behavior because its effects are strongly mo... Read More about Attachment, aggression and affiliation: The role of oxytocin in female social behaviour.

Sex differences in direct aggression: What are the psychological mediators? (2006)
Journal Article
Campbell, A. (2006). Sex differences in direct aggression: What are the psychological mediators?. Aggression and Violent Behavior, 11(3), 237-264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avb.2005.09.002

Provocation enhances aggression but diminishes the magnitude of the sex difference. This suggests that the greater involvement of men in aggression might derive from their higher levels of anger or from their lower levels of fear and fear-related inh...

A longitudinal study of gender-related cognition and behaviour (2004)
Journal Article
Campbell, A., Shirley, L., & Candy, J. (2004). A longitudinal study of gender-related cognition and behaviour. Developmental Science, 7(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-7687.2004.00316.x

Gender schema theory proposes that children's acquisition of gender labels and gender stereotypes informs gender-congruent behaviour. Most previous studies have been cross-sectional and do not address the temporal relationship between knowledge and b... Read More about A longitudinal study of gender-related cognition and behaviour.
