In a study on aggression, a group of college students are given an experimental task intended to be purposely frustrating. Then, the participants are given a task that forces them to administer (fake) electric shocks to another participant. Given what is known about gender differences and aggression, what should the researchers expect?

The correct answer is: That the men involved in the experiment administer more "damage" than their female counterparts.

Explanation:

According to research, men, in general, tend to be more aggressive than their female counterparts. According to the traits theory of the Big Five factors of personality, men are more prone to be more disagreeable than women, which in turn can translate in more aggressive behavior.

Biologically speaking, men exhibit larger levels of testosterone and more acute levels of cortisol. Those two factors associated with less regulated impulse control can result in aggressive behavior.

In conclusion, Given what is known about gender differences and aggression, the researchers should expect that  the men involved in the experiment administer more "damage" than their female counterparts.
