Gender Specificity of Aggressive Behavior: Interactions with Cynical Hostility

چکیده
Objective Though behavioral measures of hostility and aggression have been significantly linked to men and heart disease, they have not consistently predicted the relationship between hostility and aggression in women and heart disease. However, gender differences in display of aggression are poorly understood. Current aggression models may be biased towards men. In order to better understand the role aggressive behavior and hostility play in the development of heart disease in women, it is the object of this project to gain a better understanding of gender differences in aggressive behavior.
