TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Stuck in the heat or stuck in the hierarchy? Power relations explain regional variations in violence JO - Behavioral and brain sciences A1 - Weick, Mario A1 - Vasiljevic, Milica A1 - Uskul, Ayse K. A1 - Moon, Chanki SP - e102 EP - e102 VL - 40 IS - N2 - We contend that an ecological account of violence and aggression requires consideration of societal and cultural settings. Focusing on hierarchical relations, we argue countries with higher (vs. lower) power distance are, on average, located closer to the equator, have more challenging climates (e.g., higher temperature; lower temperature variation), and have a greater prevalence of violence and aggression (e.g., higher homicide rates).
