| Popis: | 102 In recent years, people have become more concerned about overt bullying behavior. However, a more covert form of aggressive behavior (e.g. relational aggression) was often overlooked. In addition, most previous research simply pointed out the gender differences in aggressive behavior without providing clear explanation. This study aims at exploring the causes of gender differences in aggressive behavior from a social contextual perspective. There are genders role that the norms may expect individuals to follow. Thus, individuals learn to compliance with the corresponding gender characteristice and behavior. This study will investigate the relationship among gender, gender roles, gender charateristic, and aggressive behavior in different age level. In pilot study, this study confirmed that participants did have perception of gender role stereotype, and the reliability and validity of study materials were also checked. In study 1, this study 8th grade students and undergraduates; 251 valid data from junior high school students were collected (113 males; efficiency of 72.5%); 249 valid data were obtained from undergraduates (92 males; efficiency 82.2%), all data analyzed by one-way ANOVA, regression analysis and mediator analysis. The results showed that: (1) Regardless of the age level, male overt aggression was higher than female (all ps < .043), whereas no gender differences in relational aggression (all ps> .440). (2) The typical male characteristics could predict the junior high school student and undergraduate female overt aggression (all ps .236). (3) Overt aggression in undergraduate sample, gender has no interaction with condition (p=.466), but both of them had main effect (all ps.076). In conclusion, male take overt aggression stably more than female; however, we found that typical male characteristics is an important factor to influence aggressive behavior, meaning that female are not always less aggression than male. This result also explained that male were requested to comply with a standard (gender role) in the process of socialization, then conform to typical male characteristices, which make male takes more overt aggression. More details and discussion is in this article. |
