Reducing Aggression :ok_hand::skin-tone-5:
Apologies
Diffuses anger. Lowers aggression. Men less likely to apologize than women. :male_sign: < :female_sign:
Empathy
Makes it more difficult to dehumanize victims or targets of aggression. :silhouettes: = :silhouettes:
Non-Aggressive Role Models
As seen in Bobo doll experiment, modeled aggression leads to higher aggression. Non-violent role models inspire less violence. :clown_face:
Catharsis
Based on Freud's theory that anger needs to be released. NOT EFFECTIVE :fist-2::skin-tone-4:
Hostile :gun:
Situational
Frustration
The more frustrated someone is the more aggressively they will behave. Frustration often comes when a goal is blocked. The closer someone is to achieving the goal before they became blocked, the greater the aggression. :angry:
Social Influence
Presence of gun can increase aggression
Being upset in presence of aggressive cues (guns) increases aggression (electric shocks given to other participants) :gun: :zap:
Social Exclusion
Humans are social creatures. Exclusion-aggression hypothesis states that social isolation leads to aggression. :cry:
Color
BLACK : evil and death in most cultures. Associated with greater violence and aggression.
NHL and NFL teams with 50% more black on jerseys had highest penalty record :skull_and_crossbones:
Heat
Exposure to heat increases likelihood of anger and aggression :thermometer:
Media
dehumanization observed in media has the potential to transfer to real life scenarios and affect behaviour :video_game:
Social Learning
We learn social behavior, aggression included, by observing behavior and copying it. Example: bobo doll experiment. :clown_face:
Lack of Free Will
Humans decide their actions
Determinism: behavior is determined by external forces (karma, god, destiny) :pray::skin-tone-4:
Individual Differences
Culture of Honour
Cultures that see violence as acceptable to be carried out as a way to protect property etc. This may stem from areas where having a 'don't mess with me' reputation was the only way to ensure safety because the government was unlikely to protect people's property. :cow2:
Gender differences
Men might like physical aggressive behavior and women may like more social aggressive behavior :female_sign: :male_sign:
Instrumental :unlock:
Aggression intended to help the aggressor reach an end. For example, most wars are instrumental aggression, as well as boxing tournaments, in which the ultimate goal is to receive resources or a prize. :trophy:
