Aggression

30.1K
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

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Area of Science:

  • Military Psychology
  • Aggression Research
  • Trauma Studies

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) and nonpartner aggression are prevalent issues among military veterans.
  • The relationship and overlap between these two forms of aggression are not well understood.
  • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing effective interventions for veterans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the overlap between intimate partner violence (IPV) and nonpartner aggression in male veterans.
  • To investigate the efficacy of the Strength at Home (SAH) program in reducing nonpartner aggression and anger.
  • To assess the impact of SAH on anger and aggression compared to treatment-as-usual (TAU).

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 135 male veterans was recruited.
  • Participants were randomly assigned to either the Strength at Home (SAH) program or treatment-as-usual (TAU).
  • Data on IPV, nonpartner aggression, and anger were collected at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.

Main Results:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) and nonpartner aggression were found to be uncorrelated in this sample.
  • Nonpartner aggression correlated with anger, posttraumatic stress disorder, and depression.
  • The Strength at Home (SAH) program did not significantly reduce nonpartner aggression but did lead to a significant decrease in anger compared to TAU.

Conclusions:

  • There appears to be minimal overlap between intimate partner violence and nonpartner aggression among male veterans.
  • The Strength at Home (SAH) intervention shows promise for anger management in veterans, though not for nonpartner aggression.
  • Further research is needed to explore interventions targeting both IPV and nonpartner aggression in veteran populations.
