abstract="Meta-analyses of social psychological research have identified gender differences in aggression [Bettencourt and Miller, 1996; Eagly and Steffen, 1986], which have been understood to date in terms of social role theory [Eagly, 1987]. The present studies examined the hypothesis that women's lower status relative to men can account for these observed differences. Participants in Study I were presented low- and high-status targets, with status unconfounded with gender, and reported their perceptions of these targets' aggression. Perceptions were for features addressed in the meta-analyses. As expected, low- relative to high-status individuals were generally perceived in a manner analogous to how women relative to men are portrayed in the meta-analyses. Participants in Study 2 reported on their perceptions of women's and men's aggression; findings also generally conformed to those of the meta-analyses. Findings are discussed in terms of a status account of gender. <p />",
