Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.0K
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...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

596
Affiliation motivation is the intrinsic desire to connect with others and belong to a social group, which plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining personal relationships. This type of motivation is essential for psychological well-being, as it provides individuals with a sense of community and support. An example of this is a student who joins a study group in order to feel a sense of connection. People with high affiliation motivation actively seek social approval, take satisfaction in...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

43.4K
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. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Bullying02:04

Bullying

8.7K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Traffic Safety
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Anger is a common reaction among road users when goals are blocked.
  • Cyclists generally manage anger constructively, but it can increase crash risk.
  • Mindfulness in drivers is linked to reduced anger and aggression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between mindfulness, anger, and aggression in cyclists.
  • To determine if mindfulness mediates anger and aggression in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Online questionnaire administered to 583 cyclists.
  • Assessed levels of mindfulness, current mindfulness practices, and anger/aggression tendencies.
  • Structural equation modeling used to analyze relationships.

Main Results:

  • Higher mindfulness levels in cyclists were associated with lower reported anger in various situations.
  • Mindfulness showed both direct and indirect (via anger) relationships with aggression.
  • More mindful cyclists reported less frequent aggression.

Conclusions:

  • Mindfulness is linked to reduced anger and aggression in cyclists.
  • Findings align with research on motor vehicle drivers.
  • Mindfulness may be a viable strategy for mitigating cyclist anger and aggression.
