Answer to Question 1

Culture exerts a number of different effects on aggression. Aggression against
individuals tends to be higher in the United States, and aggression against groups tends
to be higher in the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Moreover, overt sexual
aggression is less acceptable in the United States than in many other countries.

aggression is lower in cultures that emphasize cooperation and strongly oppose
competition.
