Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that typical male genetic traits such as aggression and competition are reinforced and even rewarded by society, whereas these same traits are discouraged in girls. This socialization begins at a young age and continues throughout the lifespan. While media exposure (such as violent movies and video games) may contribute to aggressive behavior, the primary reason for the difference in aggression between boys and girls is socialization. Parental involvement and the amount of time spent with a child may also have an impact, but it is not the primary reason for the difference in aggression.
