Female coalitional aggression takes a distinct clique form that is under-researched.
Evidence
Additionally, although we have attempted to provide a foundation for understanding a female-specific psychology of prejudice, a comprehensive account is lacking, particularly in the domain of female coalitional aggression. Though perhaps more rare than male coalitional aggression, and possibly of a different form that is more akin to “clique” psychology (e.g., Grotpeter & Crick, 1996; Hess & Hagen, 2006), research in this area could conceivably provide important insights regarding women’s prejudice and is waiting to be developed in greater detail. — Roderick M.
