Theories of aggression

The frustration theory
-
Frustration is more likely to produce aggression if one is thwarted on the way to a goal in a manner that is either illegitimate or unexpected.
Relative deprivation, the feeling that you have less than what you deserve or less than people similar to you have is more likely to cause frustration and aggressive behavior than absolute deprivation.
Example, protests and revolutions from the civil rights movement to Eastern Europe to the Middle East.
Factor
Individual
Hormone
Physical aggression is genetically programmed into men because it enables them to defend their group and perpetuate their genes.
The hormone that fuels male aggression is testosterone, which both sexes have, although in higher proportion in males.
Gender
Males and females can be equally aggressive when aggression is defined as intending to harm another person.
Physical aggression are reduced when women are as provoked as men or when cultural norms foster female aggression.
women are more likely to commit relational aggression, acts that harm another person through manipulation of the relationship (backbiting, spreading rumors, shunning)
