AGGRESSION 1 Content Summary: Aggression Chris Webb Department of Behavioral Sciences, Liberty University PSYC 512: Social Psychology Dr. Tracy Gomez May 7, 2023

AGGRESSION 2 Introduction The concept of aggression can be found in all cultures worldwide within each individual. The level of aggression varies for each person, but it still exists. In chapter 11 of Kassin et al. (2021), the topic of aggression is dissected into six sections: what is aggression, culture, gender, & individual differences, origins of aggression, situational influences on aggression, media effects, and reducing aggression & violence. Chadee (2022) investigated the topics of Self- Categorization Theory and Social Identification Theory in chapter 11. Within the chapter, they discussed how the theories influence each other and their mutual aspects. In research studies by Lereya et al. (2013) and Greitemeyer & Sagioglou (2016), they took off deeper look at the causes of aggression within individuals. Lereya et al. (2013) specifically look at how an individual’s observation of their parent’s actions cause mold their relationships within the school. Greitemeyer & Sagioglou (2016) evaluated how an individual’s socioeconomic status can affect the development of aggression within the individual. Summary Points Social Learning Theory According to Kassin et al. (2021), Social Learning Theory is the process in which an individual’s behavior is developed through the observations of others. Lereya et al. (2013) sought to apply this theory to the research study in which they tested how a child’s relationship and observation of their parents can develop their relationship with their peers in school. They specifically look at the risk of becoming a victim and a bully/victim. Sociocultural Influence Within subsection 11-6b of Kassin et al. (2021), they spoke on the topic of how an individual’s sociocultural position can have an influence on the growth of aggression.

AGGRESSION 3 Greitemeyer & Sagioglou (2016) applied this concept to their research study in which they sought to determine if an individual’s economic class determined the amount of aggression they display. Social Identification According to Kassin et al. (2021), an individual's culture can drastically determine how their members display aggression. In chapter 11 of Chadee (2022), they spoke on the relationship between Self-Categorization Theory and Social Identification Theory. On page 276, they proclaim Social Identification is an individual’s self-concept reflective of their group membership. Based on the two concepts, an individual can develop a high level of aggression if the group, in which the individual is a part of, contains aggressive habits. Conclusion Social Learning Theory, Sociocultural Influence, and Social Identification are important topics to understand when facing an individual with aggressive tendencies. Social Learning Theory is the concept that an individual develops their behavior through observation of others. Sociocultural Influence explains that an individual’s position in society influences aggression development. Social Identification defines an individual’s culture can increase the possibility of aggressive behavior. It is important the concept of aggression is better understood because it can be found in all cultures worldwide within everyone.
