Hypothesis

Inculcation of aggression will be associated with certain societal variables (163).

Note

Inculcation of aggression was significantly predicted by stem family households (r = -0.26) and peer contact (r = 0.30) in boys, nuclear family households (r = 0.35) in girls, and peer competitiveness in both boys (r = 0.54) and girls (r = 0.62).
