- Biological Explaination
- Limbic System - the part of the brain that causes aggression
- Brain disease - damage to the brain caused by illness or trauma
- prefrontal cortex - the very front of the brain. it is involved in social and moral behaviour and controls aggression
- Social Learning theory (SLT)
- Vicarious Learning -- learning by observation
- monitoring -- judging whether our own behaviours are appropriate or not
- Punishment - a stimulus that weakens behaviour because it is unpleasant and we try to avoid it.
- Psychodynamic explaination
- Displacement - being aggressive towards other people
- Freud - not a case study but he is the the researcher who discovered the psychodynamic approah
- Sublimation - channeling our aggression into other acceptable activities
