Since the heyday of research on aggression in the late 1960s,
developments in several varied areas had enabled us to take a new
look at this important though difficult topic. Recent findings and
sophisticated new techniques in behavior genetic analysis at the
time had made it possible not only to enhance our understanding of
the genetic mechanisms underlying aggressive behavior, but also to
provide some reasonable suggestions as to the role of aggression in
evolution. Originally published in 1983, there had been significant
advances in genetic and neural research and a much more
sophisticated and heuristic approach to the measurement and
conceptualization of aggressive behavior had developed. The ten
chapters in this volume provide a thorough overview of these new
approaches and methodologies. There are also suggestions regarding
the scope of future research on aggressive behavior, since much of
what is presented describes the ongoing research activities of the
contributors. This book is divided into four sections: The first
provides a systematic foundation for research on aggression, and a
description of some of the newer strategies for research in this
area; the second concerns quantitative genetic analyses, selection
data from both wild and laboratory populations, and situational
determinants of aggressive behavior; the third section details new
and exciting findings in neurochemical and neuropharmacological
effects; and the last section contains a chapter that provides a
summary and synthesis of all that has come before.
