Who are more aggressive, Men or Women?

Merten, Michael J., Williams, Amanda L., (2009). Acceptability of Maritial Violence Among College Men and Women: Does Gender and Current Relationship Status Matter? Vol. 43 Issue 3, p843 9p. College Student Journals

This article examines the acceptability of marital violence among college men and women, viewing the role of gender, current relationship status, and the interaction between gender and relationship status. It was found that women who believe male-female violence is unjustifiable reactively believe female-male violence is warranted and vice-versa. The study concludes that both men and women are more accepting of violence among intimate partners. However, female college students are less accepting of violence among married couples than male college students, regardless of the sex of the perpetrator.
