Hypothesis

Paternal warmth and socialization for aggression are associated (negatively and positively, respectively) with interpersonal aggression (p. 275).

Note

Interpersonal aggression is a composite measure of individual homicide and individual theft. In additional tests, neither paternal proximity nor maternal warmth was a predictor of interpersonal aggression.
