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...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

412
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...

Communication01:03

Communication

7.8K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Therapeutic Communication01:30

Therapeutic Communication

5.0K
Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Language01:16

Language

405
Language is a unique communication system that uses words and systematic rules to organize and transmit information. Unlike other forms of communication, which may involve postures, movements, odors, or vocalizations, language relies on symbols and grammar. This makes human communication distinct from that of other species, who also communicate but do not use language in the same way humans do.
Corballis and Suddendorf (2007) and Tomasello and Rakoczy (2003) highlight the role of language in...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

102
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Aggression is viewed as a communication dynamic between aggressor and aggressed.
  • Studies on aggression definition, measurement, development, and risk factors are reviewed.
  • Focus on aggression in children and adolescents, including those with autism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the meaning and expression of aggression for both aggressor and aggressed.
  • To analyze the aggressor's motivations and the impact of the aggressed individual's response.
  • To propose a model for understanding aggressive behaviors and intervention levels.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing studies on aggression definition, measurement, and developmental role.
  • Examination of aggression in typical and atypical development, including clinical cases and autism research.
  • Discussion of increasing violence among younger populations.

Main Results:

  • Aggression stems from physical/psychic threats leading to stress (physiological and psychological).
  • Repression as a response can create a vicious cycle, reinforcing aggressive behaviors.
  • Intervention is possible at the situational, aggressor, or aggressed individual level.

Conclusions:

  • A proposed model accounts for factors in aggressive behaviors and intervention points.
  • Understanding the "chain of aggressive behavior" is crucial for addressing violence exposure and expression.
  • A multidisciplinary approach integrating physiological, psychological, and sociological dimensions is recommended.
