Resumen

Escasas investigaciones han examinado la relaciónentre la respuesta matutina de Cortisol (CAR) y la agresión en adultos jóvenessanos. Este estudio analiza dicha relación en 83 mujeres (38 en fase lútea y 45en fase folicular del ciclo menstrual) y 20 hombres. Se obtuvieron muestras desaliva inmediatamente después del despertar y 30, 45 y 60 minutos después.Además, los participantes cumplimentaron un autoinforme de agresión. Loshombres presentan niveles más bajos de CAR que las mujeres en fase lútea y unamayor agresión física que las mujeres, independientemente de la fase del cicloen la que se encuentren. La agresión en general y la verbal en particular predicenla CAR en hombres. En mujeres, la agresión verbal modula la CAR durante la fasefolicular, mientras que la ira y la agresión física durante la lútea. La CARpuede utilizarse como un marcador fiable de predisposición hacia la agresión, yha de considerarse de forma diversa en función del género y de la fase delciclo menstrual. Esta investigación aporta información significativa sobre las baseshormonales de la agresión, por lo que contribuye a la búsqueda de soluciones para aliviar problemasrelacionados con la violencia.
