1INFLUENCE OF INFIDELITY AND JEALOUSY ON AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR

But there are disadvantages too. For males there is the risk of [blank_start]cuckoldry[blank_end] and for females they risk losing [blank_start]resources[blank_end] for herself and her [blank_start]offspring[blank_end].- Aopportunity

2MALE RETENTION STRATEGIES
Men guard against infidelity through innocuous [blank_start]romantic gestures[blank_end] or inflict costs, such as , [blank_start]violence[blank_end]. These are also known as "[blank_start]male retention strategies[blank_end]". These are used in the absence of [blank_start]resources[blank_end], some men use violence or threats of violence to deal with the threat of [blank_start]paternal[blank_end] uncertainty.
In some people infidelity and subsequent jealousy can lead to violence.- Aromantic gestures

3MALE RETENTION STRATEGIES
Which researcher found that women who agreed with questionnaire items, such as, "He is jealous and doesn't want you to talk to men", were twice as likely to experience violence from their partners. And 72% of respondents required medical attention.- ADobash and Dobash (84)
- BWilson et al (95)
- CShields and Hanneke (83)
4Dobash and Dobash (84) found in studies of [blank_start]abused[blank_end] women, that women often cited [blank_start]extreme jealousy[blank_end] on the part of their husbands or boyfriends.
- Aabused
- Bscared
- Chappy
- Dextreme jealousy
- Econtentment
- Finfidelity
5Daly et al (82) found male [blank_start]sexual jealousy[blank_end] as the single most common cause of [blank_start]killings[blank_end] among [blank_start]domestic[blank_end] disputes in the US.
- Asexual jealousy
- Bkillings
- Cdomestic
6MALE RETENTION STRATEGIES
Sexual coercion is...- AWhen a partner provides resources in order to gain sexual access
- BIs the consequence of men's perceptions or suspicions of infidelity and jealousy is sexual cpercion and partner rape.
7MALE RETENTION STRATEGIES
SEXUAL COERCION

- Binfidelity
- Crape
- Dviolent
- Echeating
8VIOLENCE TOWARDS PREGNANT PARTNER
Burch and Gallup (04) found...- Afound the frequency of violent acts towards a pregnant partner was twice the frequency of violence towards a non-pregnant partners. With males citing sexual jealousy as the reason for the abuse.
- BThat 2060 murder in the US that women were twice as likely to murder out of jealousy than a man.
- CSays evolutionary psychology explains why there is genetic capacity for aggression, not whether it will be manifested in particular situations.
9EVALUATION OF MALE RETENTION STRATEGIES
Correlations do not demonstrate [blank_start]causation[blank_end] - [blank_start]martial[blank_end] dissatisfaction, [blank_start]alcohol[blank_end] dependency, [blank_start]drug[blank_end] abuse and low socio-economic status have been found to correlate highly with partner abuse.
Methodological limitations - questionnaires may cause [blank_start]social[blank_end] desirability bias. Also, the studies had small samples and are therefore [blank_start]unrepresentative[blank_end] on the entire popultation.
Gender bias - There is an [blank_start]alpha[blank_end] bias within many of these studies. Critics argue that the aggression in relationships can be better explained by culture and socialisation. [blank_start]Feldon (97)[blank_end] found that 2060 of murders in the US that women were twice as likely to murder out of jealosy than a man.
[blank_start]Sexuality[blank_end] bias - There is a clear focus on violence within [blank_start]heterosexual[blank_end] relationships.
Determinism - It reduces [blank_start]individual[blank_end] responsibility but supporters argue that [blank_start]evolutionary[blank_end] theories consider the influence of [blank_start]genes[blank_end] on behaviour. Clamp (05) argues that evolutionary psychology explains why there is a genetic capacity for aggression, not whether it will be manifested in particular situations.- Acausation

10SPORTS EVENTS AND XENOPHOBIA
Among animals, [blank_start]display[blank_end] behavior is used for [blank_start]intimidation[blank_end] to signal claims or courtship intentions. This is similar to humans.
Group displays reinforces feelings of in-group/out-group and may serve an important adaptive function.- Adisplay
- Bviolent
- Cintimidation
- Dattraction
11Wilson (75) found that [blank_start]xenophobia[blank_end] is found in almost all groups of animals displaying [blank_start]higher[blank_end] forms of [blank_start]organization[blank_end].
- Axenophobia
- Bhigher
- Corganization
12Who found that from reviewing data from 40 football matches played in Europe during 1999 and 2000 that there was more disorder in games on the national side than the club side?
- AEvan and Rowe (02)
- BDunning et al (98)
- CNeave and Wolf (03)
13Threat displays are based on [blank_start]territoriality[blank_end]. It is a [blank_start]protective[blank_end] response to invasion of one's territory. Aggressive displays were adaptive for ancestors as they allowed groups to [blank_start]defend[blank_end] valuable resources associated with their [blank_start]territory[blank_end].
- Aterritoriality
- Bprotective
- Cdefend
- Dterritory
14Who found that football fans rated crowd support as the most significant factor contributing to a home advantage?
- ANeave and Wold (03)
- BEvan and Rowe (02)
- CLewis et al (05)
15TESTOSTERONE AND TERRITORIAL BEHAVIOUR
It may be that sports teams have lower levels of testosterone when "defending" their home territory.- AVerdadeiro
- BFalso
16Neave anf Wolf (03) looked at football teams playing at [blank_start]home[blank_end] and they found they were more likely to have won than the visiting team. They believed this is because the player experienced a huge surge of [blank_start]testosterone[blank_end] prior to playing and this is an [blank_start]evolved[blank_end] drive to defend home territory.

- Btestosterone
- Cevolved
17WARFARE
One benefit is sexual attractiveness. Men who battle are rewarded with access to [blank_start]female mates.[blank_end]
This is supported by [blank_start]Palmer and Tilly (95)[blank_end] they found that youth gang members have more sexual partners than ordinary young males.
Another benefit is that it increases [blank_start]status[blank_end] within the group. This leads to peers respect and it strengthens the bond between other males in the group, thus [blank_start]increasing status[blank_end] and in turn [blank_start]sexual[blank_end] appeal, which leads to reproductive [blank_start]success[blank_end].
Lastly, group displays promotes solidarity with males who cooperate in warfare. Group displays of [blank_start]self-inflicted[blank_end] aggression signal commitment and promote solidarity among males who cooperate in warfare. By making membership costly, group solidarity increases. This is supported by [blank_start]Sosis et al (05)[blank_end] in societies where war is prominent it is necessary to unite unrelated males into large combat group to minimize the risk of absconding. Display of group commitment needs to be permanent, this includes [blank_start]scars[blank_end] and tattoos.- Afemale mates.

18EVALUATION OF GROUP DISPLAYS OVERALL
Real life applications - [blank_start]xenophobia[blank_end] has motivated football teams to minimize the influence. Clubs in England, Germany and Scotland have created initiatives to reduce racism.
Too simplistic - no others are taken into account. It could be the [blank_start]social[blank_end] learning theory or [blank_start]deindividation[blank_end]. War may not be "in the genes" It could be a rational response to changing lifestyle. Lebanc and Register (04) warfare and aggressive displays result from [blank_start]environmental changes[blank_end].
Deterministic - underestimates [blank_start]free-will[blank_end].
Validity of theory difficult to test - Criticized for [blank_start]post-hoc[blank_end] explanation. It is impossible to go back in time and scientifically test, therefore the [blank_start]validity[blank_end] and [blank_start]reliability[blank_end] is limited. It is more likely that more factors are involved in aggressive behavior.- Axenophobia
- Bsocial
- Cdeindividation
- Denvironmental changes
- Efree-will
