Document Summary
Hostile aggression: act of aggression stemming from feelings of anger and aimed at inflicting pain or injury. Instrumental aggression: act of aggression in which there is an intention to hurt the other person, but the hurting takes place as a means to some goal other than causing pain. E. g. kitten raised in cage with rat, refused to chase or kill rats. Aggression does not need to be learned. Rat raised in isolation will attack a fellow rat. Isolated rat attacks in exact same way as any other rat. Need to be aggressive may be inborn (e. g. , cichlids) Attacks other males of same species, but will attack something else if same species taken away. Men more likely to commit extreme violence. Severe physical violence - female > male victims. Women more likely to commit relational aggression. Kids were then allowed to play with bobo doll. Alcohol and aggression: most people more aggressive with alcohol.
