Aggression, in its broadest sense, is behavior, or a disposition, that is forceful, hostile or attacking. It may occur either in retaliation or without provocation. In narrower definitions that are used in social sciences and behavioral sciences, aggression is an intention to cause harm or an act intended to increase relative social dominance. Predatory or defensive behavior between members of different species may not be considered aggression in the same sense. Aggression can take a variety of forms and can be physical or be communicated verbally or non-verbally. Aggression differs from what is commonly called assertiveness, although the terms are often used interchangeably among laypeople, e.g. an aggressive salesperson.[1] Contents [hide] 1 Overview 2 Etymology 3 Ethology 3.1 Between species and groups 3.2 Within a group 4 Evolutionary explanations 4.1 Violence and conflict 4.2 Gender 5 Physiology 5.1 Brain pathways 5.2 Testosterone 5.2.1 Challenge hypothesis 5.2.2 Effects on the nervous system 5.2.3 General associations with behavior 5.3 Dehydroepiandrosterone 5.4 Glucocorticoids 5.5 Pheromones 6 Genetics 7 In humans 7.1 Culture 7.1.1 Media 7.2 Fear(survival)-Induced Pre-emptive Aggression 7.3 Children 7.4 Gender 7.5 Situational factors 7.6 As a positive adaptation theory 8 See also 9 References 10 External links [edit] Overview Two broad categories of aggression are commonly distinguished. One includes affective (emotional) and hostile or retaliatory aggression, and the other includes instrumental, goal-oriented or predatory aggression.[2] Data on violence from a range of disciplines lend some support to a distinction between affective and predatory aggression.[3] However, some researchers question the usefulness of a hostile vs instrumental distinction in humans, despite its ubiquity in research, because most real-life cases involve mixed motives and interacting causes.[4] A number of classifications and dimensions of aggression have been suggested. These depend on such things as whether the aggression is verbal or physical; whether or not it involves relational aggression such as covert bullying and social manipulation;[5] whether harm to others is intended or not; whether it is carried out actively or expressed passively; and whether the aggression is aimed directly or indirectly. Classification may also encompass aggression-related emotions (e.g. anger) and mental states (e.g. impulsivity, hostility).[6] Aggression may occur in response to non-social as well as social factors, and can have a close relationship with stress coping style.[7] Aggression may be displayed in order to intimidate. The operative definition of aggression may be affected by moral or political views. Examples are the axiomatic moral view called the non-aggression principle and the political rules governing the behavior of one country toward another.[8] Likewise in competitive sports, or in the workplace, some forms of aggression may be sanctioned and others not.[9]
