Improving the assessment of risk for imminent aggression in older adults in residential facilities
Publication date: Available online 8 January 2020Source: Aggression and Violent BehaviorAuthor(s): Terri Roberton, Michael DaffernAbstractAggressive behavior by older adults living in residential facilities occurs commonly, and negatively impacts caregivers, other residents, and sometimes visitors. A precondition of aggression prevention efforts is accurate identification of high-risk individuals and interactions. To this end, elucidation of early warning signs and specification of proximal causes, processes and high-risk interactions is critical. Structured risk assessment instruments have been shown to improve prediction...

High self-control may support ‘success’ in psychopathic leadership: Self-control versus impulsivity in psychopathic leadership
Publication date: January–February 2020Source: Aggression and Violent Behavior, Volume 50Author(s): Désiré G.C. Palmen, Jan J.L. Derksen, Emile KolthoffAbstractIn the last few years scholars have postulated that non-institutionalized psychopathic individuals may be overrepresented in leadership positions. In this paper we juxtapose theory and research on the profile of those high in psychopathy in leadership positions with the traditional profile of those high in psychopathy in prisons and institutions. We hypothesize that the psychopathic leader has a unique combination of traits that enables and drives such a leader ...

The motivations of female child sexual offenders: A systematic review of the literature
Publication date: Available online 5 December 2019Source: Aggression and Violent BehaviorAuthor(s): Kelly M. Brown, Juliane A. KloessAbstractThe aim of the literature review presented here was to identify goals and offense-supportive cognitions that act as motivational factors in the sexual offending against children of females. A scoping search revealed that there was currently no review in this area. A systematic search of empirical research that examined motivations in female child sexual offenders (FCSOs) was initiated based upon an inclusion and exclusion criteria. Identified studies were screened and reference lists ...

Elucidating the neurobiology of cyberbullying using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI): A hypothesis
Publication date: Available online 21 November 2019Source: Aggression and Violent BehaviorAuthor(s): Larisa T. McLoughlin, Zack Shan, Kathryn M. Broadhouse, Jim Lagopoulos, Natalie Winks, Daniel F. HermensAbstractCyberbullying is a prevalent concern around the world. Research shows that interactions online are associated with similar structural correlates and patterns of brain activity to real-world (offline) relationships, and that the brain experiences peer victimisation (e.g., cyberbullying) in the same way that it experiences physical pain. Furthermore, these experiences can become biologically embedded in the physiolo...

Seeing red? A systematic review of the evidence for attentional biases to threat-relevant stimuli in propensity to reactive aggression
Publication date: Available online 22 November 2019Source: Aggression and Violent BehaviorAuthor(s): Katherine E. ManningAbstractPsychological models of aggression have suggested that propensity to aggressive behaviour, especially reactive aggression (RA), may be associated with attentional biases to threat or hostile stimuli. Findings to date are inconsistent, but have often treated aggression as a general construct. This review aimed to evaluate the evidence for a specific association of such attentional biases in propensity to RA, excluding populations with known attention processing abnormalities. A systematic search o...

Life course persistent antisocial behavior silver anniversary
Publication date: Available online 12 November 2019Source: Aggression and Violent BehaviorAuthor(s): Robert EmeAbstractIn 1993 Terrie Moffitt published a paper that proposed a dual developmental taxonomy of antisocial behavior. The paper triggered a cascade of research on types of criminal offending, thereby making it one of the most researched and most influential of all developmental theories of antisocial behavior. The silver anniversary of the paper's publication seems a fitting time to review the status of the life-course-persistent (LCP) group who Moffitt suggested would enable researchers to learn more about the eti...

Cyberbullying: Concepts, theories, and correlates informing evidence-based best practices for prevention
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2019Source: Aggression and Violent BehaviorAuthor(s): Nadia S. AnsaryAbstractEmerging evidence has revealed that many characteristics of cyberbullying—its definition, prevalence rates, risk and protective factors, outcomes, and prevention strategies—are related and yet somewhat unique from traditional bullying. The ubiquity of technology in the lives of youth presents an opportunity for individuals to intentionally and repetitively harm others, 24 h per day, sometimes with complete anonymity, and often without consequence. This is concerning given the high rates of psycho...
