- Evolutionary psychology views aggression as hardwired and instinctual, linked to reproductive success and survival of the fittest
- Aggressive individuals are at increased risk of poor health, early mortality, mental health problems, and decreased life satisfaction
- Aggression is often learned through classical conditioning, instrumental learning, and social learning
- Neurological and biological approaches highlight genes linked to aggressive behavior, neurotransmitter levels, and brain structures associated with aggression
- Bullying in the workplace, indirect aggression, dominance, and status are key aspects of organizational psychology
- The role of perception in aggression, including cues for the fight or flight mechanism and the impact of what we see, hear, and feel
- Personality approaches to aggression, including trait aggression, trait anger, trait irritability, and the role of shame proneness and rumination
- Relational psychology encompasses domestic violence, child abuse, power and dominance, jealousy, and schemas
- Aggression is elicited by the situation rather than the personality, as suggested by cognitive dissonance theory and social cognition
- The General Aggression Model (GAM) by Craig Anderson and Brad Bushman explains the nature of aggression, person inputs, situational factors, routes, and outcomes. It emphasizes cognition, affects, arousal, immediate appraisal, and re-appraisal. Additionally, it highlights media psychology, including the effects of aggression in the media, statistics on exposure to aggression in the media, and the Gruel statement on the causal relationship between media aggression and later aggressive behavior.
Impact of Inappropriate Content on Young People and Continuing Professional Development for Psychologists

- Despite falling social violence, violent media use is increasing, presenting a potential concern
- Accessibility to technology and IP exposes teens to violent material and inappropriate content
- Prevalence of child sexual abuse by other children has increased in recent years
- Exposure to IP is associated with perpetration of aggression and violence against women
- Early and frequent exposure to pornography is linked to initiation of sexual behaviors at a younger age
- Schools lack universally taught IP education programs, with secondary schools being the primary focus
- Psychologists are required to engage in ongoing professional development (CPD) and self-care
- CPD involves activities such as workshops, seminars, reading and analyzing professional literature, and peer consultation
- Self-care is crucial for psychologists to maintain motivation, energy, resilience, and effective problem-solving ability, while preventing burnout symptoms such as dissatisfaction and withdrawal
