Perceptions of Relational and Physical Aggression among College Students: Effects of Gender of Perpetrator, Target, and Perceiver (2007, background): “Because indirect aggression (including relational aggression) differs from direct aggression in terms of both its aims and techniques (Archer & Coyne, 2005), it is not surprising that a different gender pattern tends to be found, with females using indirect forms of aggression more frequently than t”
Status Struggles (2011, background): “That males are more aggressive than females is virtually axiomatic for many researchers, and most empirical studies support this view (e.g., Coie and Dodge 1998), including several meta-analyses (e.g., Archer 2004; Hyde 1984).”
Effects of masculine identity and gender role stress on aggression in men. (2006, background): “Although much effort has been directed at identifying correlates and predictors of externalizing and violent behavior, (Archer, 2004; Holtzworth-Munroe, Meehan, Herron, Rehman, & Stuart, 2004), increasing attention has focused on examining the association between components of masculine identity and”
Does gender diversity help teams constructively manage status conflict? An evolutionary perspective of status conflict, team psychological safety, and team creativity (2018, methodology): “…groups because the use of aggressive tactics becomes a common and acceptable method to win conflicts (for male-dominant groups, see Anderson et al., 2001; Correll, 2004, and Porath et al., 2008; for female-dominant groups, see Archer, 2004; Oesterman et al., 1998, and Griskevicius et al., 2009).”
Paths to success in young adulthood from mental health and life transitions in emerging adulthood (2010, background): “Men tend to express anger through physical and verbal aggression (Archer, 2004), whereas women tend to engage in non-explosive, noninjurious behaviors such as retreating or giving the silent treatment (Campbell & Muncer, 2008).”
Executive function and theory of mind as predictors of aggressive and prosocial behavior and peer acceptance in early childhood (2017, background): “Though, gender differences in relational aggression may be characteristic of adolescence (Archer, 2004).”
The turban effect: The influence of Muslim headgear and induced affect on aggressive responses in the shooter bias paradigm (2008, result): “The finding that people shoot more at men than women is not surprising, and is consistent with findings that males are often seen as more threatening/dangerous (Archer, 2004; Archer & Coyne, 2005).”
The Influence of Prior Relationship, Gender, and Fear on the Consequences of Stalking Victimization (2012, background): “Culture has an important influence on interpersonal aggression (e.g., Archer 2004 ) and the current work includes data from English-speaking countries outside of the USA.”
Exposure to maternal vs. paternal partner violence, PTSD, and aggression in adolescent girls and boys (2006, background): “We did not specifically ask participants about opposite-sex friends; however, it is likely that their answers reflect aggression in same-sex rather than opposite-sex relationships [Archer, 2004].”
An Integrative Approach to Understanding Counterproductive Work Behavior: The Roles of Stressors, Negative Emotions, and Moral Disengagement (2014, result): “…our hypotheses, we considered gender as a covariate for all variables, as previous studies have shown that females are more vulnerable to negative (Newmann 1986; Smith and Reise 1998), whereas males are generally more prone to deviant behavior and MD (Archer 2004; Bettencourt and Miller 1996).”
Construct Validity of the Multidimensional Structure of Bullying and Victimization: An Application of Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling. (2011, methodology): “…review of gender differences in aggressive behavior, Ostrov and Godleski (2010) concluded that based on the results from two previous meta-analyses (Archer, 2004; Card et al., 2008), there is at best weak support for the gender-linked hypothesis that males engage in more physical aggression while…”
The human anger face evolved to enhance cues of strength (2014, methodology): “For this reason and others, aggression will be a more important tool of social negotiation for men than women (Archer, 2004; Campbell, 2002; Daly & Wilson, 1988; Wrangham & Peterson, 1996), and both men and women should be (and are) better calibrated to assess male strength (Sell, 2012).”
Beauty and the beast: mechanisms of sexual selection in humans (2010, background): “Men and boys are more physically aggressive than women and girls (Archer, 2004, 2009).”
School functioning in early adolescence : Gender-linked responses to peer victimization (2007, background): “Although some research reports that girls experience significantly more relational victimization than boys and that boys experience more physical victimization than girls, these reports are inconsistent (see Archer, 2004).”
