Varför tar män till våld oftare än kvinnor?

Vad har du för belägg för att kvinnor använder mer psykiskt våld än män? Eller var det inte så du menade?

Relational and Physical Victimization Within Friendships: Nobody Told Me There'd Be Friends Like These
Abstract
In past research, relational and physical forms of peer victimization have been identified that have been shown to be significantly associated with social-psychological maladjustment. These forms of victimization, although studied primarily within the group peer context, also occur within dyadic relationships such as friendships. Gender differences in friend victimization and the association between friend victimization and children's social-psychological adjustment were examined. Results showed that boys were more physically victimized by their friends than were girls. Girls were more relationally than physically victimized by their friends. Friend victimization was related to adjustment difficulties for both boys and girls; however, friend physical victimization was particularly related to boys whereas friend relational victimization was particularly related to girls. The implications of these findings for future research and intervention with victimized children are discussed.

Relational and Physical Aggression, Prosocial Behavior, and Peer RelationsGender Moderation and Bidirectional Associations
Abstract
In this 3-year prospective study (N = 458) spanning a transition to middle school, bidirectional associations between children?s relations with schoolmates (social preference andimpact)and behaviors (physical and relational aggression, prosocial behavior) were examined using structural equation modeling. Gender moderation of all estimated paths was examined. There was no gender difference in relational aggression in Grade 3; girls were more relationally aggressive than boys in Grade 6. Males were more physically aggressive than females; females were more prosocial and preferred by peers. Longitudinal and bidirectional associations between relations with peers and behaviors were found. Compared to one-group models of social preference and impact, gender moderation models improved model fit significantly. With regard to social preference and children?s behaviors, gender moderated concurrent, but not longitudinal, associations. With regards to social impact and children?s behaviors, gender moderated both concurrent and longitudinal associations. There was moderate stability of behaviors, including relational aggression.

Det verkar inte så (när det gäller våld inom relationen).

"New research from the Sahlgrenska Academy in Gothenburg shows that men are just as often, or maybe even more often, victims of domestic violence in relationships."

"Since 1975, numerous other empirical studies have found evidence of gender symmetry in IPV. For example, in the United States, the National Comorbidity Study of 1990-1992 found 18.4% of men and 17.4% of women had experienced minor IPV, and 5.5% of men and 6.5% of women had experienced severe IPV.[46][47] In England and Wales, the 1995 "Home Office Research Study 191" found that in the twelve months prior to the survey, 4.2% of both men and woman between the ages of 16 and 59 had been assaulted by an intimate.[48] The Canadian General Social Survey of 2000 found that from 1994 to 1999, 4% of men and 4% of women had experienced IPV in a relationship in which they were still involved, 22% of men and 28% of women had experienced IPV in a relationship which had now ended, and 7% of men and 8% of women had experienced IPV across all relationships, past and present.[33] The 2005 Canadian General Social Survey, looking at the years 1999?2004 found similar data; 4% of men and 3% of women had experienced IPV in a relationship in which they were still involved, 16% of men and 21% of women had experienced IPV in a relationship which had now ended, and 6% of men and 7% of women had experienced IPV across all relationships, past and present.[34]"

Sex Differences in Antisocial Behaviour: Conduct Disorder, Delinquency, and Violence in the Dunedin Longitudinal Study (2001)

On the whole, the data in these three chapters conf i rm the ubiquity of the sex difference, but they also reveal some interesting and important lawful exceptions to this rule. In particular, males and females are remark-ably similar with respect to their illicit use of drugs and with respect to their involvement in domestic violence. (Extra analyses show that the sex similar-ity in domestic violence applies to clinical cases of serious abuse, and is not an artefact of women?s self-defence.) It is also noteworthy that sex differ-ences are minimal with respect to the common forms of antisocial behavi-our which typify the adolescent age period and which are relatively unassociated with other forms of pathology. The data demonstrate that this peak of adolescence-limited antisocial behaviour is linked, among girls, with their personal pubertal timing.
Not surprisingly, the male excess of antisocial behaviour is especially evident with respect to violent behaviour and violent crimes, as might be anticipated by the greater muscular strength of males. What was not quite so self-evident, however, is the fi nding detailed in chapter 16 that the male preponderance is most evident with respect to early-onset life-course-persistent antisocial behaviour

Sex-typed adult developmental outcomes Chapters 13 and 14 aim to compare the early-adult outcomes of males and females who had been antisocial as adolescents, examining a broad array of adult outcomes measured at age 21 in the Dunedin Study. At this age, the sequelae of conduct problems proved to be gender-typed. A conduct-problem history predicted women?s adult adjustment in relation to home life, health, and depression. In contrast, conduct problems forecast men?s adjustment in relation to work, substance abuse, and the judicial crime-control system. Both antisocial males and females were highly likely to become intimate with an antisocial mate, to produce babies while they were still in their teens, and to engage in domestic violence in their homes, thus setting the stage of risk for the next generation. One key fi nding was that young women?s delinquency was strongly exacerbated when they with an antisocial mate, whereas young men were not inf l uenced in this way, a fi nding pointing to the importance of social inf l uences within intimate relationships on females? antisocial behaviour.

Självklart är det fullt möjligt att man kommer fram till att andra hormoner eller andra neurotransmitter spelar en roll eller påverkar varandra på sätt som vi inte visste. Man har inte alls klart för sig hur exakt hjärnan fungerar, det kommer nya rön hela tiden.

Enkelt svar: Testosteron!

Psykisk misshandel förekommer också i relationer där kvinnor blir misshandlade. Vi går dessutom inte ut och dödar en massa folk för att vi inte får ligga. När ska ni män börja ta ett kollektivt ansvar för erat giftiga beteende?

Tja, en bra början är väl att undvika män som ser ut såhär. 

Istället för fysisk? Eller menar du också att kvinnor misshandlar psykiskt oftare än män gör?
