| Description: Behavior comes from three causes: Biological evolution, cultural evolution and evolution of the operant during the life span. Although Applied Behavior Analysis has long focused on functional analysis and treatment of aggression and violence, especially in people with little developmental disabilities, less attention has been paid to the broad context of the causes of aggression and violence . This workshop will provide a comprehensive review of aggression and violence and its implications for prevention and treatment at the level of individuals, couples and society. |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to: (1) describe the evidence for evolution of aggression and violence; (2) describedifferences between and within cultures in the degree of aggression and violence; (3) describe the development of aggression and violent behavior within individual humans; (4) describe the implications for prevention and treatment at the level of the individual, couple, and society. |
