Document Summary
Let"s treat violence like a contagious disease (ted/slutkin) Mind of a killer (joel rifkin video shown in class) Instrumental aggression is the intentional use of harmful behavior so that one can achieve some goal. Yelling at your kid to make them behave differently. Hostile aggression is the intentional use of harmful behavior, triggered by anger, in which the goal is simply to cause injury or death to the victim. Describe the biological sources of aggression as a perspective for the cause of aggression. Biological sources do not mean that much because classifying aggression becomes difficult since there is the complication of intent. Inheritance theories are aggression that is innate, unlearned and passed down from generation to generation because it is adaptive. Twins will have the same likelihood to steal but a different likelihood of anger. Describe the social/situational sources of aggression as a perspective for the cause of aggression. Inward (self-mutilation) or outwardly (toward another person) directed.
