"Cobras": Aggressors who become internally calm during heated arguments, experienced as a drop in heart rate. They tend to be calculated, antisocial, and emotionally detached.Â
"Pit Bulls": Aggressors whose heart rates accelerate as arguments build. Their anger escalates gradually, and they display extreme, paranoid attachment to their partners.
