Alcohol, women and the expression of aggression.
The need for agreed upon definitions of terms like aggression, anger and violence is emphasized as well as the need to encompass a broader range of human aggressive behaviors in research than has been customary. Gender differences and female-as-aggressor and as object of aggression are reviewed. Some of the work on effects of alcohol on aggressive response and male and female studies are also reviewed. Some suggestions for future development of alcohol/aggression studies are made.
