Excerpt from Term Paper:

...... While this study does present some interesting and valuable insights on aggression, it also is too general and tends, to a certain degree, to promote gender stereotypes. It is felt that there are too many variables, including age and various other social and cultural aspects that intervene in a clear-cut adoption of this hypothesis. This view is supported by the fact that the study concludes that these generalizations were found to be not true in an overall sense. The value of the study lies in the fact that it indicates possible trends in aggression that might occur among some children in each gender. The findings of the paper do provide a subject for further research in the suggestion that boys begin to use manipulation and indirect aggression in later life
