ABSTRACT

105Aggression takes many forms, ranging between physical violence and talking in hostile terms about others. You have probably had the misfortune to meet some people who were very aggressive and hard to handle. Mercifully, most people are not like that.

What do you think causes some individuals to be aggressive whereas others are gentle and unaggressive? Is it a question of personality or the experiences people have had? Are men generally more aggressive than women? Are the media to blame? What advice would you give to parents concerned about their aggressive child?
