This book provides a broad and contemporary overview of aggression
and violence by some of the most internationally renowned
researchers in the field. It begins with an integrative theoretical
understanding of aggression and shows how animal models shed light
on human aggression and violence. Individual risk factors for
aggression and violence from different research perspectives are
then examined. First, there is a cognitive neuroscientific,
neuropsychological, and psychophysiological study of the brain. It
then explores the developmental psychological factors in aggressive
behavior, incorporating work on gender and the family. Other
perspectives include the role of testosterone, individual
differences, and whether humans are innately wired for violence.
The following sections moves from the individual to the contextual
risk factors for aggression, including work on the effects of
adverse events and ostracism, guns and other aggressive cues
including violent media, and drugs and alcohol. Targets of
aggression and violence are covered in the next section, including
violence against women and loved ones; aggression between social
groups; and the two very contemporary issues of cyberbullying and
terrorism. The book concludes with work showing how we may make the
world a more peaceful place by preventing and reducing aggression
and violence. The volume is essential reading for upper-level
students and researchers of psychology and related disciplines
interested in a rigorous and multi-perspective overview of work on
aggression and violence.
