Sex differences in aggression: Origins and implications for sexual integration of combat forces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 August 2009
Abstract
Sex differences in aggressive and risk-taking behaviors have practical implications for sexual integration of military combat units. The social-role theory implies that female soldiers will adapt to their role and display the same aggressive and risk-taking propensities as their male comrades. If sex differences reflect evolved propensities, however, adoption of the soldier's role is unlikely to eliminate those differences.
