Study Notes
Social Learning Theory and Biological Approaches to Aggression
- Social learning theory by Albert Bandura suggests aggressive tendencies are acquired through direct experience or by observing and copying aggressive role models.
- Bandura's Bobo doll experiments showed children were more likely to imitate violent behaviors if demonstrated by respected or rewarded models.
- Observational learning of aggression can occur without reinforcement to the observers.
- Neural networks and information processing underpin learning theories and are developed through experience.
- Genes, particularly 16 to 17 genes, are linked with aggressive behavior, often in conjunction with specific environments or predispositions.
- Neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA are linked to aggression, with serotonin deficits associated with poor impulse control.
- Hormones like testosterone, cortisol, oxytocin, estrogen, and progesterone are linked to aggression, with mixed findings.
- Biological approaches to aggression involve different brain structures, such as the limbic system, frontal lobes, and specific cortex areas.
- Increased aggression is associated with lower resting heart rate and under-arousal of the central and autonomic nervous systems.
- Arousal and excitation transfer theory explores the interplay between people's thoughts and physiological arousal in aggression.
- Personality approaches to aggression include innate aggressive and sexual drives, Big 5 traits, Big 6 (HEXACO) traits, and stable learned material becoming part of personality.
- Relationship psychology suggests that learned material can become part of our stable personality.
Understanding Aggression and Psychology
- Macquarie University holds copyright to the material and legal action can be taken for its unauthorized sharing.
- Cognitive Neo-Association Theory explains how activation of one part of the brain leads to the activation of linked parts, influencing a person's actions.
- Unpleasant or threatening situations stimulate negative feelings, leading to fight or flight tendencies, depending on the situation and individual's experiences.
- Anger or fight tendencies dominating a situation can increase the likelihood of an aggressive response.
- Script Theory suggests that aggressive episodes run like a movie script, often leading to automatic responses in familiar situations.
- Developmental psychology studies show that aggression peaks in toddler years and declines with age, being replaced by forms with fewer consequences.
- Some individuals exhibit habitual aggression, which may decline with age but remains higher compared to peers, influenced by various factors including gene-environment interactions.
- Emotion and aggression studies explore the connection between anger, shame, humiliation, jealousy, and aggression.
- Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis, based on Freud's ideas, suggests that all instances of aggression can be traced back to frustration, though this is not always true.
- Evolutionary psychology suggests that aggression is instinctual, with strong links to animal behavior and survival instincts.
- Health psychology, learning theories, and social learning theories explore the links between physical and psychological health and the acquisition and maintenance of aggressive behavior.
- Albert Bandura, a renowned psychologist, made significant contributions to social learning theories.
