Document Summary
Bullying - is a form of aggression which is persistent. It involves a perpetrator trying to establish power over another victim. Other forms of aggression are not typically persistent. Cyberbullying - is a form of bullying that occurs online (e. g. email, social network, blog, instant messages etc. ) unlike other forms of aggression the perpetrator can be anonymous. In addition to internal causes of aggression, researches have also looked at interpersonal causes of aggression. Rather than aggression stemming from frustration or learned response, some researchers argue that aggression stems from people going after what they want. There is an increased likelihood of aggression behavior the more the reward is desired, increased change of success, and decreased chance of retaliation. Research demonstrated that 2 out of 5 acts of arson are forms of revenge. Domestic violence (family violence or intimate partner violence) is violence which occurs between close others.
