Identifying cognitive predictors of reactive and proactive aggression [PDF]
The aim of this study was to identify implicit cognitive predictors of aggressive behavior. Specifically, the predictive value of an attentional bias for aggressive stimuli and automatic association of the self and aggression was examined for reactive and proactive aggressive behavior in a non‐clinical sample (N = 90). An Emotional Stroop Task was used

The Effect of Cognitive Reappraisal on Reactive Aggression: An fMRI Study [PDF]
A number of empirical researches have shown that reactive aggression, which is the behavior that is impulsive, thoughtless, driven by anger, and causes harm toward another individual, can lead to a series of negative effects.

Proactive and Reactive Sibling Aggression and Adjustment in Adolescence
Existing research on aggression tends to narrowly focus on peers; less is known about sibling aggression, most likely due to its historical acceptance. Aggression is characterized by its forms (i.e., physical vs. social or relational aggression) and its functions (i.e., the motivations behind the aggressive act and categorized as ...

Appetitive and reactive aggression are differentially associated with the STin2 genetic variant in the serotonin transporter gene [PDF]
Appetitive aggression is a sub-category of instrumental aggression, characterised by the primary intrinsic enjoyment of aggressive activity. Aggression is heritable, and serotonergic and monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems have been found to ...

Sex differences in appetitive and reactive aggression. [PDF]
Aggression is an evolutionarily conserved, adaptive component of social behavior. Studies in male mice illustrate that aggression is influenced by numerous factors including the degree to which an individual finds aggression rewarding and will work for access to attack and subordinate mice.

Alexithymia and reactive aggression: The role of the amygdala. [PDF]
Past research suggests an association between reactive aggression and alexithymia, but neural mechanisms underlying this association remain unknown. Furthermore, the relationship between proactive aggression and alexithymia remains untested. This study aimed to: (1) test whether alexithymia is more related to reactive than proactive aggression; and (2)
