Cruelty: A dispositional or a situational behavior in man?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (3):230-230 (2006)
| Abstract | Presentation of evidence from multiple disciplines is the most impressive feature of Nell's article. I have observations and objections, however, about the following issues: (1) violence as a by-product of cruelty; (2) the equation of animal and human cruelty; (3) social psychological evidence contrary to the biological model; (4) whether prevention of cruelty best arises from predispositional or situational factors. | |||||||||
