Let’s get into Aggression.
00:04
Social behavior for we going to start
talk about love and attraction.
00:08
We’re going to have to move on
the opposite which would be aggression.
00:10
There is three types of factors that can
really help further support aggressive behavior.
00:16
Now, one might seem odd when we are
talking about genetic predisposition.
00:20
And what we’re referring to here is
more along the lines of personality traits.
00:25
and not that there’s a gene that makes you angry.
00:28
We are referring to the fact that
if within your family, your parents
and other those out related to
show a sense of aggressive behavior.
00:38
And that’s their personality type.
00:40
There is evidence to show that, that type
of genetic predisposition has passed on.
00:46
So that you are more likely to be of aggressive
tendencies if that’s what runs in your family.
00:51
So again, I’m not saying that’s
the gene that makes you crazy and angry.
00:54
I’m just saying that, if your parents
are kind of mindset chances are
you’re going to have that predisposition.
01:00
Now, there is also Neurals.
01:02
We know that certain brain regions associated
with facilitating and inhibiting aggression.
01:06
And the area of interest here that you should
know for the MCAT would be the frontal lobe.
01:11
So we know the frontal lobe helps
mitigate in man which some of that behavior,
some of that aggression.
01:15
And so if you ever see deficiencies
in that or there is damage,
we can see that there’s increase in aggression.
01:22
We also know biochemically, there’s
different things that you could consumed
that will impact certain transmitters in
your brain which will lead to aggression.
01:31
So we know things like alcohol
for example. Actually disinhibits.
01:35
And disinhibits some of the breaks that I like to,
the analogy that uses the gas and the breaks.
01:40
and that typically, we have the breaks
on the areas of aggression.
01:45
And so the average, normal person is not
acting aggressively and violently.
01:51
But then when you started drinking
alcohol, we know disinhibits
and pulls the breaks off and makes a little bit
easier to become aggressive or show aggression.
02:02
Now, the Frustration-aggression principles,
pretty straightforward.
02:05
And it states that’s really three points in this process.
And one is that you start by being frustrated.
02:10
That can lead to anger which eventually
leads to aggression.
02:14
So you see the transition of being
frustrated about something.
02:17
You get angry and then get really aggressive.
02:19
And you know that the analogies or the situations that
come into mind or a lot of times says sporting events.
02:26
And you are at the match watching your favorite team.
02:30
And you’re really frustrated about your play.
02:31
Now, the reps on your side.
And there’s been a lot of bad calls.
02:35
The team is not playing.
Extremely frustrated.
02:37
Now, you layered under the fact that now
they’re loosing. You getting quiet upset.
02:41
You’re very angry because your team lose
and is now under the playoffs.
02:45
And all of the sudden, as you leaving
the stadium, those fans of the opposing team
might be chirping in your face.
02:52
And now you’re primed. And so you’ve
already gone on that process
that you have your frustration, that you’re angry.
02:57
That making that leap to aggression becomes much easier.
03:00
If you’re already in that state of anger.
03:02
Now, if you layer on the top of this while
this supporting events have alcohol in the mix
which I said to this inhibitor and
make even easier to get aggress.
03:10
Which I get a lot of time at these
riots and thing go array.
03:15
Now, let’s define some other primers on aggression.
What is that word that we are talking about?
Well, this is a behavior that is
forceful, hostile, or attacking.
03:25
And it’s not a dirty looks. To think sometimes,
we have a different movie playing on our minds.
03:30
Saying, oh I give her dirty looks,
she knows that you know, I’m very upset.
03:33
Or even the receiver that might say that dirty look,
you’ve been very aggressive to me right now.
03:36
So, it’s not to say, that’s not aggressive but we’re
looking at something it’s a little bit more forceful or hostile.
03:44
It’s considered something that is intended to cause harm
or promote social dominance within a group.
03:49
And in the past, it was used as a way
to sort of dominate the situation in terms of
getting a land or protecting your family.
04:00
You’re keeping your dwelling like
your cave or protecting your village.
04:03
Now, things have sort of change.
We really don’t have this scenario
happening to us as often.
04:09
And so we can have the situations
like the workplace environment
where you’re trying to instead protect your
cave, you’re trying to protect your stands.
04:17
And you might disagree with
somebody’s point of view.
04:20
and that can escalate into frustration,
anger and aggression.
04:23
Sport were you know part of the aspects
of sport are aggression in fighting things
like boxing, hockey, football.
04:31
Again, things can escalate quite quickly
and that’s almost part of the package of sport.
04:36
And then we have war which really hangs
a lot of unfortunate is on aggression.
04:40
You try your negotiations
and your peacekeeping but
that can quickly turn into actual
acts of war which will be aggression.
