Benish-Weisman, M. (2015). The interplay between values and aggression in adolescence: a longitudinal study. Developmental Psychology, doi:10.1037/dev0000015 This was a longitudinal study done on five Israel schools to test the previous theories that certain values can be correlated with aggression. Benish wanted to examine the relationship between values and aggression on a large sample of Israeli adolescents for a period of a year. He used the four higher values that have been used in previous studies; self-enhancement, conservation, openness to change and self-transcendence. Prior studies have found that certain values have been found to be good indicators of aggression and other values implied that people

While there has been a lot of research done on aggression involving dating violence, sexual abuse and interpersonal abuse, there has been very little to none done on the impacts of laboratory based of measures from participants or the felt impact of aggression by the perpetrator himself. This is why the researchers in this study were interested to find that if the men were deceived, and forced to question themselves, would they potentially become aggressive? They were interested to see the inflicted insight and the positive and negative effects as well. This research was conducted in a two-part project designed to examine determinants of antigay aggression with a post evaluation done in 6-8 days later. Three hundred and nineteen men participated in the experiment. The men’s ages ranged from eighteen to sixty-four and were university students. The first part of the research was that the men filled out several self-battery questionnaires in one day. These questions were about the current aggression they felt towards sexual …show more content…
(2015). Predictors of child-to- parent aggression: A 3- year longitudinal study. Developmental Psychology, doi: 10.1037/a0039092 This was a three year longitudinal study done on both adolescents and their parents. The researchers had found from prior studies that very little evidence that showed the prediction outcomes of parent to child aggression. They also found no longitudinal studies had ever been performed. This gave researchers to interest in finding out if family violence, weak parenting and lack of parental compassion predicts child-to- parent aggression. They also wanted to find that if family variables could predict child-to- parent aggression. The researchers predicted that exposure to violence, weak parenting and lack of parental warmth would in fact lead to aggression. They also predicted that, “justification of violence would mediate the link between exposure of violence and child-to-parent aggression” (Calvete, Orue, Gamez-Guadix & Bushman, 2015, pg.3,
