Abstract

I am delighted to contribute to a volume to honor Professor Adam Fraczek. He has made great contributions to the study of aggressive behavior, and is the more to be honored because of the difficult circumstances in which his research was carried out. Having been his guest in Poland on more than one occasion, I feel a considerable personal debt to him.
