I have never done any research that shows blondes are more aggressive, entitled, angry or "warlike" than brunette or redheads. This error was the result of a piece in the London Sunday Times. If you'd like to see my actual research, which shows that attractive women are more prone to anger, feel more entitled, and believe they win more conflicts of interest then you can see the actual article and the press release here: http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/topics/anger.htm Note that the words “blonde” or even “hair” never appear there.
