Aggression is always a consequence of frustration, but frustration aggression. Social living = learning how to suppress aggressive behaviour. Instigator: antecedent condition from which response can be predicted. Several instigators may operate together --> stronger effect, or operate against each other, weaken. Goal response: act which terminates predicted sequence, reduces strength of instigation so it no longer produces sequence. Have reinforcing effect induces learning of actions that led to. Organism could have been expected to perform in certain ways. Substitute response: any action which reduces to some degree the strength of the instigation, the goal-response which was prevented from occurring. Put an end to frustrations (ex: smoker chewing gum) If goal-response = injury of a person = aggression.
