Document Summary
Any form of behaviour directed towards the goal of harming or injuring another living being who is motivated to avoid such treatment (baron & richardson, 1994: behaviour. Not cognition e. g. imagery: goal of harming or injuring. Not self, objects or things: motivated to avoid. Assertiveness = playing within rules with high intensity and emotion, but with no intention to harm; not the same as instrumental aggression. Hostile/reactive aggression = primary goal is to in ict harm. Instrumental aggression = aggression in service of a non-aggressive gaol. Hostile and instrumental aggression are on either end of the continuum, but might involve elements of both. Majority of instrumental aggressive acts occur in conjunction with a reactive process. Dif cult as it requires knowledge of intent/goals. Asking individuals about their behaviour (social desirability bias) Penalty statistics (some penalties don"t have intent to harm and some acts go unnoticed) In summary, this method of research is littered with methodological problems.
