CRIM 218 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Qvt, Cybercrime, United States Cyber Command
Document Summary
Explores how cyber-social information processing increases or decreases the risk for one of the four types of cyber aggression. Distinguishes between hostile-reactive aggression (in response to frustration or perceived provocation) and instrumental aggression ( cold-blooded aggression, designed to achieve a goal or objective). However, aggressive responses may be in part proactive and in part reactive. Cyberbullying can involve both proactive and reactive cyber aggression. Impulsive-reactive aggression maps most closely to the long-recognized frustration- aggression model. Involves attribution of intent to other social actors. Aggressive youth are more likely to interpret ambiguous online situations as hostile . On sites such as facebook and twitter, there are no semantic cues or social cues (face-to-face interaction) to tell them that the text messages are not intended to be provocative or o ensive. Impulsive-reactive aggression also involves failure of self-control (can be sue to lack of sleep, or going through adolenesence).
