“…For example, Pool et al [2007] used electrical shock to demonstrate that hypermasculine men report having higher pain tolerance, and actually tolerate more electrical stimulation than women and men who endorsed low levels of masculinity. 2 Similarly, Hammock and Richardson [1992] used an electric shock aggression paradigm to demonstrate that masculinity is a better predictor of aggression than gender alone. Kogut et al [1992] found that women who endorse more masculine traits are more aggressive than low masculine endorsing women.…”

The literature on pain and aggression has indicated that pain elicits aggression. However, research has generally examined pain as a situational variable and focused less on the dispositional ability of an individual to tolerate pain. The dearth of research on pain tolerance and aggression appears to contradict the existing theory on the aggression-eliciting effect of pain, in that studies have found a positive relationship between pain tolerance and aggression. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relationship between pain tolerance and aggression is moderated by sex and whether the positive relationship could be explained by masculine gender role conformity. A sample of 195 collegiate men and women completed trait measures and a laboratory assessment of pain tolerance. Results indicated that correlations between pain tolerance and trait aggression were significant and positive for men but not women. However, when men's conformity to masculine gender role was controlled for, the relationship between pain tolerance and trait aggression was nil and nonsignificant. Results are discussed in reference to socialization and maintenance of masculine status.

“…The conceptualization of femininity and masculinity as independent dimensions also suggests it would be valuable to their relative contribution to behaviors, such as aggression, which are strongly associated with gender roles. Several studies have shown that high masculinity in sex role orientation predicts aggression, in men as well as women [e.g., Hammock and Richardson, 1992;Jenkins and Aube, 2002]. While evidence for a link between masculinity in the form of macho personality and aggressive driving has been established for men [Krahe´and Fenske, 2002], there is no evidence to date to explore the role of women's masculinity.…”

Predictors of women's aggressive driving behavior

Predictors of women's aggressive driving behavior were explored in a study involving 256 female motorists. Sex role orientation, dispositional aggressiveness, age, and annual mileage were measured as independent variables, and aggressive driving behavior was included as the dependent variable. Stepwise hierarchical regression analysis showed that age was negatively related to driving aggression, whereas annual mileage had a positive relationship with driving aggression. Dispositional aggressiveness was a significant predictor of driving aggression. Of the two components of sex role orientation, only femininity was associated with driving aggression, with higher femininity scores predicting lower aggressive driving scores. Masculinity failed to predict aggressive driving, as did the interaction of masculinity and femininity. In combination, the predictors explained 29% of the variance in women's aggressive driving. The results are discussed with respect to the role of dispositional variables as predictors of driving aggression in women. Aggr. Behav. 31:537-546, 2005. r

“…Moreover, there is a significant amount of research looking at sex differences in different types of aggressive behavior [e.g., [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, differences in aggressiveness between men and women are often small and inconsistent [16][17][18]. It has often been suggested that males are in general more physically aggressive than females [18][19][20][21].…”

Adolescents' Predictions of Aggressive Behavioral Patterns in Different Settings

Few studies have examined adolescents' predictions of aggression involving other adolescents; previous research has focused mainly on studying the perceptions of physical aggression. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore adolescents' predictions of physical, verbal, and indirect aggression in hypothetical scenarios of aggression and to establish any sex differences in these predictions. A total of 653 adolescents aged 14 to 18 participated in the study. The sex of the aggressor and the sex of the target were manipulated, and participants' predictions of the likelihood of aggressive behavioral patterns were measured through the use of a questionnaire. Results showed a significant interaction between the two independent variables. More specifically, results showed that (i) when the aggressor and the target were both males, the subjects more often predicted that the aggressor would use physical and verbal aggression; (ii) when the aggressor and the target were both females, subjects predicted that the aggressor would use more indirect aggression; (iii) males predicted the use of physical aggression more readily when the target was a male; (iv) females predicted the use of verbal and indirect aggression more readily than males when the target was a female; and (v) the situations in which subjects predicted that the aggressor would use more physical, verbal and indirect aggression were when the aggression took place between peers, followed by situations in which aggression took place in a domestic context.
