自尊和攻击性之间的关系产生了复杂的结果，并在社会心理学文献中产生了许多最近的争论。柯克帕特里克等人[柯克帕特里克，L.一、Waugh，C. E、瓦伦西亚，A.，韦伯斯特，G.，2002.自尊的功能领域特异性与攻击性的差异预测。Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 825，756-767]表明，多种功能不同的自尊机制可以不同地预测攻击性：例如，“自我优越感”与行为攻击性呈正相关，“社会包容”与行为攻击性呈负相关。本研究通过进一步区分两种不同形式的“优越感”，即支配和威望，扩展了这一研究[Henrich，J.，Gil-White，F. J. 2001.威望的演变：自由地赋予尊重作为一种机制，以提高文化传播的好处。进化和人类行为22，165-196]，在预测男性和女性的侵略性和男性的睾酮水平（在唾液样本中测量）。优势呈正相关，但声望无关或呈负相关，自我报告的侵略措施。优势是无关的，但声望呈负相关的男性睾酮水平，也许表明一种方法的睾酮抑制个人实现基于优势。除了有助于越来越多的文献的攻击性自尊的联系，结果提供验证的优势的区别和支持，但也提出了一个重要的改进，自尊的理论作为一个功能不同的适应的集合。爱思唯尔公司出版
The relationship between self-esteem and aggression has yielded mixed results and generated much recent debate in the social psychology literature. Based on an evolutionary-psychological theory of self-esteem, Kirkpatrick et al. [Kirkpatrick, L. A., Waugh, C. E., Valencia, A., Webster, G., 2002. The functional domain-specificity of self-esteem and the differential prediction of aggression. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 825, 756-767] showed that multiple, functionally distinct self-esteem mechanisms predict aggression differentially: e.g., "self-perceived superiority" is positively related, and "social inclusion" inversely related, to behavioral aggression. The present study extends this research by further differentiating two distinct forms of "superiority," dominance and prestige [Henrich, J., Gil-White, F. J. 2001. The evolution of prestige: Freely conferred deference as a mechanism for enhancing the benefits of cultural transmission. Evolution and Human Behavior 22, 165-196], in the prediction of aggression in men and women and testosterone levels (measured in saliva samples) in men. Dominance was positively related, but prestige was either unrelated or inversely related, to self-report aggression measures. Dominance was unrelated but prestige inversely related to testosterone levels in men, perhaps suggesting a method of testosterone inhibition in individuals attaining prestige-based superiority. In addition to contributing to the growing literature on the aggression-self-esteem link, the results provide validation for the prestige-dominance distinction and support, but also suggest an important refinement to, a theory of self-esteem as a collection of functionally distinct adaptations.
