Individual Differences and Aggressive Interactions

  • Chapter
Social Psychology of Aggression

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Social Psychology ((SSSOC))

Abstract

The current status of research on aggression has been increasingly criticized and regarded as unsatisfactory. One argument put forward is that empirical results based on the three traditional approaches — drive theory, frustration-aggression theory, and learning theory — provide only an incomplete, vague, and, in part, contradictory description of the topic. Since continuing on these lines would probably prove nonproductive, new perspectives for aggression research seem necessary.
