Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for hire...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Suicide attempt is a significant predictor of completed suicide.
  • Understanding suicide attempter characteristics is vital for effective suicide prevention.
  • Aggression is a potential factor in suicide attempts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate trait aggression levels in medically serious suicide attempters.
  • To compare aggression in suicide attempters versus healthy controls.
  • To identify aggression as a target for suicide prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed trait aggression using the Japanese version of the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BAQ).
  • Compared 55 medically serious suicide attempters with 71 healthy controls.
  • Utilized statistical analysis to determine significant differences in aggression scores.

Main Results:

  • Suicide attempters scored significantly higher on total BAQ scores compared to controls.
  • Hostility scores were significantly elevated in the suicide attempter group.
  • These findings highlight a link between aggression and suicide attempts.

Conclusions:

  • Elevated aggression, particularly hostility, is characteristic of medically serious suicide attempters.
  • Aggression management should be a key component of suicide prevention efforts.
  • Further research into aggression in suicide attempters may inform clinical interventions.
