Hostile aggression: act of aggression stemming from feelings of anger and aimed at inflicting pain or injury. If player things team is playing dirty, may be angry and want to purposely cause pain. Instrumental aggression: aggression as a means to some goal other than causing pain in football, must tackle other team, uses aggression, does not mean to inflict pain. Some are convinced that aggression is an instinct, others are certain it is a learned behavior. Freud believed that humans are born with an instinct towards life and an equally powerful death instinct, which leads to aggression. Men are more likely to be reported as aggressive than women. Why are males more physically aggressive: testosterone, in order to protect a family, jealousy, increased paternity certainty. Gender differences are largest for physical aggression.
