Predation versus competition and the importance of manipulable causes
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (3):243-244 (2006)
| Abstract | It is difficult to fully account for (1) cruelty in modern society and (2) female cruelty, referring only to a cruelty-satiation association. Instead it seems likely that cruelty acquires its reinforcing value via association with a range of reinforcers. In addition, when one's goal is violence prevention, it is important to identify causes that can be manipulated. | |||||||||
