What Is Aggression
Aggressive behaviour develop where an individual is being praised or rewarded for being forceful. Being praised or rewarded for such action, can be an encouragement and reinforcement to perform such behaviour in the future.
According to (Cherry) aggression is the continuous, unacceptable behaviour that can cause physical and psychological harm to people in general, or objects in out surroundings. It is a behaviour that is self ascertained with hostility and harmful tones and can be from a normal reaction to a threat, or can be abnormal because of provocation.
Aggression can be referred to any behaviour that causes hostility, destruction, and/or violence related. It has the potential to inflict injury, or damage the person or object to which it is or was intended. Most Psychologists define aggression as a behaviour that causes harm and injury to others. (Coie and Dodge, 1998) Aggressive behaviour is always challenging, but challenging behaviour is not always aggressive. They see aggression as a behaviour that is disruptive, antisocial, and annoying.
Examples of aggression is physical assault, throwing objects, destroying properties, verbal threats and the behaviour of harming yourself. (Kristalyn Salters-Pedneault, PhD)
There are many theories of aggression, namely:
Frustration-Aggression Theory
Social Learning Theory
Instinctive-Aggression Theory
Relative Deprivation Theory
Cue-Arousal Theory
Excitation-Transfer Theory
Deindividuation
Frustration-Aggression Theory
We become frustrated when we want to achieve a particular goal in our lives and we are unable to or we are being blocked from achieving our goals. This frustration then leads to aggressive
behaviour,
