υπάρχουν 5-6-7 θεωρίες για την επιθετικότητα και αυτός είπε τη βιολογική ως τη μόνη αυταπόδεικτη αληθεια
Instinct Theory: This theory, proposed by Sigmund Freud and others, suggests that aggression is an innate, biological instinct that serves an evolutionary purpose, such as self-defense or protection of resources.
Drive Theory: Similar to instinct theory, drive theory proposes that aggression is a response to the build-up of internal psychological tension or arousal that needs to be discharged. Aggressive behavior is seen as a way to reduce this tension.
Social Learning Theory: Developed by Albert Bandura, this theory emphasizes the role of observational learning and socialization in the development of aggressive behavior. Individuals learn aggressive responses by observing others, particularly influential role models, and through the reinforcement of aggressive behavior.
Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis: This theory, proposed by Dollard et al., suggests that aggression is a result of frustration—when individuals are prevented from achieving a desired goal. Frustration creates a readiness to aggress, and the presence of an appropriate target increases the likelihood of aggressive behavior.
Biological Theories: Biological perspectives on aggression focus on genetic, hormonal, and neurological factors that may predispose individuals to aggressive behavior. For example, some research suggests that abnormalities in neurotransmitter systems (e.g., serotonin) or hormonal imbalances (e.g., testosterone) may contribute to aggression.
Cognitive Neoassociation Model: This model proposed by Berkowitz suggests that aggression is influenced by both situational cues and cognitive processes. Negative emotions and environmental stimuli can prime aggressive thoughts and feelings, increasing the likelihood of aggressive behavior.
General Aggression Model (GAM): Developed by Anderson and Bushman, this model integrates various psychological theories to explain aggressive behavior. It proposes that both situational factors and individual differences interact to influence aggression. Factors such as personal traits, socialization, and immediate environmental cues all play a role in determining whether someone will engage in aggressive behavior.
