Document Summary

Yms: daly & wilson believe that it is yms, or young male syndrome, young men compete with each other to gain status, status allows men to get more/better mates. Highest level of homicide is between 18-24, could be because that they are trying to act like adults. Black wales are higher due to ses (socioeconomic status) Widowed men have the highest levels of homicide. Risky behaviours increase with low resources, higher the poverty, higher the aggressive behaviour. Short life expectancy and low ses is also among the highest homicides. Developmental trajectory of aggression: aggression peaks in the early preschool/jk years, as children get older, physical aggression decreases compared to other forms, transition to middle school is an important source of renewed conflict, ages 5-6 aggression decreases. Information processing of social content: dodge suggests a seven-step sequential model, skipping a step results in maladaptive social behavior, better social information processing correlated with better social skills in children in k-2.
