This research aims to extend the understanding of sex differences in aggression by applying the lens of Life History Theory to evaluate the effects of age, muscle, occupation, and other variables on aggression tactics. The study involves a resource competition game with 200 participants of both sexes, who can use direct or indirect aggression strategies. A post-game survey will assess the relationship between these variables and the differences in aggression levels. The authors predict that even when taking into account other factors affecting aggression, men will prefer direct aggression, and women will prefer indirect aggression. In conclusion, this work is intended to expand current knowledge of sex differences in aggression and contribute to the field of evolutionary psychology.
