Understanding External Determinants of Aggression: Factors and Theories

This overview explores the external determinants of aggression, which include situational factors such as heat, noise, crowding, and air quality, and their impact in contrast to biological and individual factors addressed after midterms. Key theories like the Frustration-Aggression model, Aggressive Cue Theory, and Social Learning Theory help reconcile the myriad influences on aggressive behavior. By examining both social and external factors of aggression, we can understand the complex interplay that drives aggressive acts. This analysis draws from Chapters 4 and 5 of our course material.

  1. External Determinants of Aggression

  2. Overview • Before midterm… situational/external factors • After midterm… biological/individual factors So… • What are the factors from Chapter 5 (external factors) and how do they compare/contrast in terms of influencing aggression? • What are the factors from Chapter 4 (social factors), and how to reconcile all of these factors from both chapters ???

  3. External determinants? • Heat • Noise • Crowding • Air Quality • Odor • Cues • Media • Self-awareness

  4. So many factors ?!? • Frustration Magnitude Arbitrariness Emotional processes Cognitive Processes • Attacks Defensive strategy Impression Management • Target Sex of Target Race of Target • Other people Obedience Bystanders • Heat • Noise • Crowding • Air Quality • Odor • Cues • Media • Self-awareness

  5. How to reconcile so many factors? = THEORIES • Chapter 1 • Instinctive Drives – Evolutionary Perspective • Externally created Motivations • Frustration-Aggression model • Aggressive Cue Theory • Excitation Transfer Theory • Cognitive Models • Cognitive Neoassociation Model • Cognition-Excitation Interdependencies • Learned Behavior • Social Learning Theory

  6. How to reconcile so many factors? = THEORIES • Chapter 1 Instinctive Drives – Evolutionary Perspective • Externally created Motivations • Frustration-Aggression model • Aggressive Cue Theory • Excitation Transfer Theory • Cognitive Models • Cognitive Neoassociation Model • Cognition-Excitation Interdependencies Learned Behavior Social Learning Theory

  7. How to reconcile so many factors? = THEORIES • Chapter 1 Instinctive Drives – Evolutionary Perspective • Externally created Motivations • Frustration-Aggression model • Aggressive Cue Theory • Excitation Transfer Theory • Cognitive Models • Cognitive Neoassociation Model • Cognition-Excitation Interdependencies Learned Behavior Social Learning Theory (plus pages 263-269, “Aggression influences Arousal”)

  8. How to reconcile so many factors? = THEORIES • Chapter 1 Instinctive Drives – Evolutionary Perspective • Externally created Motivations • Frustration-Aggression model (Dollard) • Aggressive Cue Theory (Berkowitz) • Excitation Transfer Theory (Zillman) • Cognitive Models • Cognitive Neoassociation Model (Berkowitz) • Cognition-Excitation Interdependence (Zillman) Learned Behavior Social Learning Theory

  9. Original Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis Frustration (and only frustration) Aggression(of all forms)

  10. Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis (Reformulated) Frustration Pain Heat Any Other Unpleasant Experience Negative Feelings Emotional Aggression

  11. Cognitive neoassociation model Unpleasant Experiences (pain, heat, etc.) Negative Feelings Angry Thoughts and Associations Fight

  12. Cognitive neoassociation model Unpleasant Experiences (pain, heat, etc.) Negative Feelings OR Angry Thoughts and Associations Fearful Thoughts and Associations Fight Flight

  13. Cognitive neoassociation model Unpleasant Experiences (pain, heat, etc.) Negative Feelings OR Objects or Events Priming Aggression Angry Thoughts and Associations Fearful Thoughts and Associations Fight Flight

  14. Cognitive neoassociation model Unpleasant Experiences (pain, heat, etc.) Negative Feelings Negative Feelings Objects or Events Priming Aggression AngryThoughts and Associations Angry Thoughts and Associations Fearful Thoughts and Associations Fight Flight

  15. Cognitive neoassociation model Unpleasant Experiences (pain, heat, etc.) Negative Feelings Objects or Events Priming Aggression AngryThoughts and Associations Angry Thoughts and Associations Fearful Thoughts and Associations Flight Fight Fight
