Altruism and Aggression

Social and Biological Origins

Herausgeber: Zahn-Waxler, Carolyn; Cummings, E. Mark; Iannotti, Ronald J.

Beschreibung

Altruism and Aggression explores the genetic underpinnings of affiliative and aggressive orientations as well as the biological correlates of these behaviors. The authors consider environmental variables--family patterns, childrearing practices--that influence prosocial and antisocial behaviors. And they examine internal processes, such as empathy, socio-inferential abilities, and cognitive attributions, that regulate 'kindness' and 'selfishness.'
