Study Notes
Understanding Aggression and Violence
- Aggression permeates various settings such as homes, sports, power seats, and corporate boardrooms, with a language that conveys the intent to harm.
- Aggression is a pervasive social issue underlying family violence, war, and societal violence, drawing from a substantial research base across psychology sub-disciplines.
- Aggression is defined as behavior directed at causing harm, while violence is aggression with the extreme goal of harm.
- Animal behavior studies reveal gender differences, with male animals displaying higher aggression levels, supported by theories such as the hydraulic hypothesis and the energy model.
- Clinical psychology interventions for aggression encompass conflict and anger management, counseling for aggression, violence, and therapeutic approaches for complex issues.
- Cognitive psychology delves into neural networks, information processing, and cognitive neo-association theory to explain the link between experiences, memories, and aggressive responses.
- Developmental psychology studies show the trajectory of aggression over a lifespan, with peaks in toddler years, declining with age, and evolving into less consequential forms like verbal and relational aggression.
- Emotion plays a significant role in aggression, with anger, shame, humiliation, jealousy, and frustration all being linked to aggressive tendencies.
- Evolutionary psychology suggests that aggression is instinctual and hard-wired, with strong links to animal behavior and survival strategies.
- Health psychology emphasizes the detrimental impact of aggression on physical health, mental health, and life satisfaction, leading to increased risk of poor health and early mortality.
- Learning theories, particularly social learning theory, highlight the influence of observational learning and the role of aggressive role models in acquiring and maintaining aggressive behavior.
- Aggression is often learned and perpetuated through imitation, influenced by factors such as the status, familiarity, and reward of the role model, as well as self-efficacy for aggression.
