One large Norwegian survey of assistant nurses found that male respondents were more than twice as likely to report exposure to bullying at work than were female respondents. 14] Causes. It’s unclear why girls and women favor relational over physical aggression. One theory is that females may be biologically hardwired to respond to stress differently than males. After analyzing both animal and human studies, Taylor and colleagues theorized that whereas both sexes can exhibit the fight-or-flight stress response, which is believed to be activated largely by testosterone, females are more inclined to use “tend-and-befriend,” a response based on caregiving and attachment behaviors triggered by oxytocin and other female hormones. 15 They also argue that because female aggression (“fight”) is mediated less by testosterone, it tends to be more social and “cerebral” than physical in its expression. Some researchers have focused on the developmental origins of relational aggression. According to a review by Archer and Cote, girls tend to use more indirect and relational forms of bullying than boys and to display this preference quite young (one large study found evidence of this predilection in girls as young as two years of age). 16 And Crick and colleagues concluded that, despite some mixed findings, the research overall has demonstrated that relational aggression is ical and social behaviors rather than physical violence to cause harm. 7 It’s sometimes characterized as indirect or covert bullying, but that can be misleading; for example, calling a coworker “incompetent” to her face is a form of relational aggression, but it isn’t covert. Some use the term lateral or horizontal violence to describe aggression between nurses in the workplace, 8-10 but these terms seem too limiting; they refer to aggression between people at the same hierarchical level, whereas relational aggression can also occur between people at different levels, as when senior nurses bully new graduates. Relational aggression can extend beyond working hours and the time of employment and can occur in person or in cyberspace.It’s generally accepted that boys and men express aggression more often through physical violence and that girls and women express it through character defamation, humiliation, betrayal of trust, and exclusion, 11 all of which are characteristic of relational aggression. The reasons for this difference aren’t well understood. Because only about 6% of the 3 million RNs in the United States are men, 12, 13 I surmise that relational aggression is the predominant form of bullying among nurses.[Editor’s note: Because relational aggression occurs mainly among women and most nurses are female, this article uses female pronouns. But men can also
