Question 108

A commonly reported sex/gender difference is that boys and girls engage in aggressive behaviours differently. Girls are often involved in relational aggression and boys in physical aggression. What is the BEST explanation for this difference?

Answer 108

girls have high oestrogen levels that has calming effect and boys have testosterone which makes the more aggressive.

But boys do engen in competitive group activities to a higher extent which may give aggression a bit of a spark.

While girls engage in physical aggression when relational aggression is not affective.

And my personal opinion as a girl is that social structures and stereotypes are also involved a bit. As a girl you always get to hear when you a kid that girls don’t fight while boys get to fight and be violent as much as they want. But that is just my personal opinion.
