Document Summary
Many personality perspectives see aggression, and therefore hatred, as a biological necessity for survival, therefore, hereditary in part. Ethology: the study of animal behaviour patterns in natural environments. Evolutionarily, we are predisposed to have some aggression, in order to get the mate. But there are still differences in our expression of that aggression that should be looked into. Thanatos: according to freud, the drive toward self-destructive behaviour or death. Also arose from the basic instinct of death. Antisocial personality disorder: a personality disorder in which an individual is excessively impulsive, violates the rules of society, and lacks anxiety or guilt for his/her behaviour. For jung, the hate lied in the shadow. Adler and horne believed that hostile behaviours developed during childhood. Had a focus on social experiences over biological. Ruling type: according to alfred adler, a type of person who proceeds for his or her own gain without consideration of others.
