“…Since the journal first issue in 1958, until the last issue in 2014, their representativeness was 1.1%. These results are consistent with the unsystematic indications of Archer (1989Archer ( , 1995 and Berkowitz (1993), about the concentration of experimental behavior-analytic studies about induced aggression in the 1960's and 1970's.…”

“…As JEAB can be considered the flagship journal of EAB (Laties, 2008), a literature survey in the journal can partially map the level of interest in the particular topic. In order to provide a systematic presentation of EAB length of concern with aggression induced by aversive stimulation (for unsystematic commentaries, see Archer, 1989Archer, , 1995Berkowitz, 1993), our objective was to survey JEAB publications, showing the temporal distribution of studies on the subject matter, and presenting some of their methodological characteristics over time.…”

RESUMOOs primeiros experimentos sobre agressão induzida buscaram estabelecer a relação direta entre estimulação aversiva e comportamento agressivo. A generalidade do fenômeno foi avaliada com variações na espécie dos sujeitos e nos estímulos indutores. Estudos seminais sobre agressão induzida foram publicados no periódico Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB). Os objetivos do presente estudo foram apresentar sistematicamente a distribuição temporal das publicações sobre a agressão induzida no JEAB e descrever seus aspectos metodológicos. Os termos "aggress*", "fight*" e "attack*" foram buscados no banco de dados Wiley Online Library e critérios de seleção foram aplicados. Cinquenta e oito estudos foram analisados. A representatividade global de publicações sobre agressão induzida no JEAB foi de 1,1%. Entre 1962 e 1981, houve publicação regular sobre agressão induzida no periódico, o que representa 2,8% das publicações do JEAB no período referido. Neste intervalo, um primeiro período de publicações foi marcado por investigações envolvendo exposição de ratos e macacos-de-cheiro a choque elétrico, o que resultava em respostas agressivas de luta e de mordida, respectivamente; um segundo período foi marcado por trabalhos que envolviam a exposição de pombos a esquemas de reforço, resultando em respostas agressivas de bicar. O padrão de publicação sobre agressão induzida no JEAB está de acordo com indicações anteriores sobre a distribuição temporal das publicações gerais sobre a agressão induzida. Limitações do presente trabalho são discutidas e sugestões para pesquisas adicionais são fornecidas.Palavras-chave: agressão induzida, JEAB, levantamento ABSTRACT Early experimental research on induced aggression aimed to set the direct relation between aversive stimulation and aggressive behavior. The generality of the phenomenon was evaluated with variations in the subjects' species and in the inducting stimuli. Seminal studies on induced aggression were published in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB). The objectives of the present study were systematically present the temporal distribution of publications on induced aggression in JEAB and describe the studies' methodological aspects. The terms "aggress*", "fight*", and "attack*" were searched in the Wiley Online Library database, and selecting criteria were applied. Fiftyeight articles were analyzed. The global representativeness of publications about induced aggression in JEAB is 1.1%. Between 1962 and 1981, there were regular publications about induced aggression in the journal, representing 2.8% of the publications in JEAB in the referred period. During this interval, a first period of publications was marked by investigations involving the exposition of rats and squirrel monkeys to electric shock, which would result in fighting and biting aggressive responses, respectively; a second period was marked by studies involving the exposition of pigeons to schedules of reinforcement, resulting in aggressive pecking responses.

“…Perhaps the mechanism closest to this is the ethological concept of the fixed-action pattern, whereby a specific stimulus evokes a specific response (e.g., Lorenz 1971). Mechanisms underlying aggression may range from this sort, as in the case of pain-induced aggression (Archer 1988; 1989–90), through emotional reactions, which can be seen as filling “the gap between fixed action patterns and impeccable rationality” (Johnson-Laird & Oatley 1992, p. 206), to more specific decision-processes, responsive to local cost-benefit contingencies. The mechanisms underlying human aggression are a complex mixture of these processes, as evidenced by theories that emphasize emotions (Archer 1976; 1988; Baumeister et al 1996; Berkowitz 19622008; Dollard et al 1939), and those stressing rational goal-directed behavior (Tedeschi & Felson 1994).…”

I argue that the magnitude and nature of sex differences in aggression, their development, causation, and variability, can be better explained by sexual selection than by the alternative biosocial version of social role theory. Thus, sex differences in physical aggression increase with the degree of risk, occur early in life, peak in young adulthood, and are likely to be mediated by greater male impulsiveness, and greater female fear of physical danger. Male variability in physical aggression is consistent with an alternative life history perspective, and context-dependent variability with responses to reproductive competition, although some variability follows the internal and external influences of social roles. Other sex differences, in variance in reproductive output, threat displays, size and strength, maturation rates, and mortality and conception rates, all indicate that male aggression is part of a sexually selected adaptive complex. Physical aggression between partners can be explained using different evolutionary principles, arising from the conflicts of interest between males and females entering a reproductive alliance, combined with variability following differences in societal gender roles. In this case, social roles are particularly important since they enable both the relatively equality in physical aggression between partners from Western nations, and the considerable cross-national variability, to be explained.
