Description
For centuries, scholars have debated the causes of aggression and the means to reduce its occurrence. Human Aggression
brings together internationally recognized experts discussing the most current psychological research on the causes and prevention of
aggression. Scholars, policy makers, practitioners, and those generally concerned with the growing issue of aggression find this a much
needed reference work. Topics include how aggression is related to the usage of drugs, how temperature affects aggression, the effect
of the mass media on aggression, violence by men against women, and the treatment of anger/aggression in clinical settings. The book
also provides a comprehensive review of theory and methodology in the study of aggression.
Audience
Academics and researchers in social psychology, personality, cognitive psychology and sociology.
