Answer 1

Aggression is overt, often harmful, social interaction with the intention of inflicting damage or other unpleasantness upon another individual. It may occur either in retaliation or without provocation. In humans, frustration due to blocked goals can cause aggression.That Day My Manager was Shouting at me and I was like to hell with this Job.He was in full Aggression.

Examples of aggressive behaviors include Physical violence, such as biting, hitting, and kicking. Verbal hostility, like sending threatening messages through emails, phone calls, or social media, or making threats against someone's life, shouting, and swearing.

In psychology, the term aggression refers to a range of behaviors that can result in both physical and psychological harm to oneself, others, or objects in the environment. This type of social interaction centers on harming another person either physically or mentally.

• Impulsive aggression

Also known as effective aggression, impulsive aggression is characterized by strong emotions, usually anger.

Behavioral change theories are attempts to explain why behaviors change. These theories cite environmental, personal, and behavioral characteristics as the major factors in behavioral determination.

Frustration-aggression hypothesis, otherwise known as the frustration–aggression–displacement theory, is a theory of aggression.It attempts to give an explanation as to the cause of violence.This theory is also used to explain riots and revolutions, which both are believed to be caused by poorer and more deprived sections of society who may express their bottled up frustration and anger through violence.However, aggression is not always the response to frustration. Rather a substitute response is displayed when the aggressive response is not the strongest in the hierarchy. Furthermore, this theory raises the question if aggression is innate.

Social learning theory is a theory of learning and social behavior which proposes that new behaviors can be acquired by observing and imitating others. It states that learning is a cognitive process that takes place in a social context and can occur purely through observation or direct instruction, even in the absence of motor reproduction or direct reinforcement.In addition to the observation of behavior, learning also occurs through the observation of rewards and punishments, a process known as vicarious reinforcement. When a particular behavior is rewarded regularly, it will most likely persist; conversely, if a particular behavior is constantly punished, it will most likely resist.
