Abstract Synopsis
- Human females often use indirect aggression, such as spreading rumors or criticizing appearance, as a strategy in competition with other females.
- This type of aggression is mainly targeted at attractive and sexually available females to gain an advantage in attracting mates.
- Indirect aggression proves to be effective, as it reduces the willingness of victims to compete and increases the sexual and dating behaviors of those who initiate it.]
