| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| humans and chimpanzees share male-initiated raiding parties with lethal results | with no other known species |
| aggression is a means of coopting | the resources of others |
| sex difference in physical aggression | emerges as early as 3 years old |
| aggression can be used to defend against attack by | cultivating a reputation that deters would be aggressors and prevents loss of status and resources |
| men and women both derogate | same-sex rivals, impugning their status and reputation and make them less desirable to members of the opposite sex |
| because evolution operates according to differences in designs | a cost inflicted on a rival can translate into a benefit for the perpetrator |
| aggression may function to | increase status or power within existing social hierarchies depending on cultural norms |
| cultivating a reputation as aggressive | might function to deter aggression and other forms of cost infliction from others |
| aggression and threat function to deter long-term | mates from sexual infidelity |
| male sexual jealousy is the leading cause or perpetuating context | of spousal battering |
| aggression is not | a unitary, monolithic, or context-blind strategy |
| men who are lower in relative mate value than their wives or who experience a decrement in the resources women value | are more likely to use aggression to solve the adaptive problem of a partner's potential infidelity |
| lethal retribution is a universal recourse | for those subject to abuse |
| aggression may cause escalating circle of | aggression and counter aggression |
| among cultures of honor failure to aggress when insulted (not killing dishonored daughter) | can lead to loss of status |
| bullies select victims who | cannot or will not retaliate |
| wives with a high density of family members | may experience lower levels of domestic violence |
| evolutionary mechanisms are designed to be | sensitive to context |
| men on men homicide predominates because | males are constrained in their reproduction by their ability to gain access to high-investing females |
| sex difference in minimum obligatory parental investment | means that males can produce more offspring than females |
| differences in reproduction between sexes means | differences between the haves and have-nots are greater for males than females |
| greater variance in reproduction | favors riskier strategies for males |
| sexually dimorphic | show higher variance in the reproduction of one sex |
| within primate species the more intense the effective polygyny | the more dimorphic the sexes are in size and form |
| humans are mildly dimorphic in weight | roughly 18% heavier than |
| polygyny selects for | risky strategies |
| risky strategies include | violent combat with rivals and increased risk taking to get resources to mate |
| aggression in competitive contexts marked by polygyny | aggression for multiple mates or to avoid total reproductive failure |
| men products of a long history of mild, but effective polygyny | characterized by risky strategies of intrasexual competition for female access, filtering those who fail to take risks |
| victims of female aggression are typically | members of their own sex |
| recalibration theory of anger | feeling and expressing anger functions to increase the value that the target of your anger places on you welfare |
| those with a superior ability to inflict costs and confer benefits | should be more prone to anger |
| men and women who are physically formidable and attractive respectively | have greater success in resolving social conflicts in their favor and have greater sense of entitlement |
| selection may operate against women | who take the large physical risks entailed by aggression |
| women need to place higher value on their own lives | because infants depend on maternal more than paternal care |
