WHY PEOPLE ARE

AGGRESSIVE

RABIA BASHIR01-133132-144

REASONS:• They are insecure

• Pain and Discomfort

• Frustration

• Social Exclusion

• Watching Violence in the Media

Insecure

• Criticism: If parents always  criticized the child by telling him that he is not acting like a man and if he didn't manage to meet their expectations then he might grow up believing that he is not a man enough

• Not meeting expectations: If the child had certain expectations for his behavior and if he didn't meet these expectations then he might also develop such self doubts

• Feeling inferior to other men: If a man always compares himself unfavorably to other men then there is a big possibility that he will develop self doubts

Pain and Discomfort

• Certain situations are conducive to aggression that even the most docile person will resort to aggression.

• Pain increases the probability that an organism will aggress.

Frustration

• Closeness to the goal object.

• The greater the closeness to the goal, the greater the frustration when it is not achieved and the higher the probability of aggression.

Social Exclusion

• Excluded

Being excluded from a group of peers can lead to considerable aggression in the laboratory .People who feel socially rejected are more likely to see others' actions as hostile and are more likely to behave in hurtful ways toward people they have never even met.

Watching Violence in the Media

• Being exposed to violence on TV increases aggressive behavior in children

• More violence people watch on TV as children, the more violence they exhibit years later as teens and adults
