Aggression01:47

Aggression

28.0K
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...

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

306
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

419
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...

Psychosis: Pathophysiology of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders

916
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...

Antisocial Personality Disorder01:24

Antisocial Personality Disorder

162
Antisocial personality disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by persistent patterns of disregard for the rights and well-being of others. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder exhibit behaviors that include deceitfulness, impulsivity, irresponsibility, aggression, and a profound lack of empathy. These traits often manifest early in life and persist into adulthood, leading to significant personal, social, and legal consequences.
Behavioral Characteristics and...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I01:25

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.2K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Summary

Animal models of aggression are reviewed, distinguishing functional aggression from psychopathology-oriented models. Newer models, based on etiological factors, offer potential for understanding aggression control in mental disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ethology
  • Psychopathology

Background:

  • Neural mechanisms of aggression are commonly studied using animal models.
  • Existing models are rarely compared from a psychopathological viewpoint.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically compare classical and modern animal models of aggression.
  • To evaluate their suitability for studying aggression-related psychopathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative overview of established and recent animal models of aggression.
  • Analysis of functional vs. psychopathology-oriented models.

Main Results:

  • Classical models focus on adaptive aggression (territory, rank, defense).
  • Psychopathology-oriented models induce deviant aggression linked to other dysfunctions.
  • These models show potential for studying pathological aggression.

Conclusions:

  • Classical animal aggression models are less suitable for psychopathologies.
  • Psychopathology-oriented models offer promise for understanding aggression control.
  • Further development is needed to address model deficits.
