ABSTRACT
PI sychologists have predominantly viewed aggression as responses "pushed out" by inner forces, such as aggressive drive, anger, hormones, or brain centers (cf. Geen, 1990; Moyer, 1987), or automatically instigated by external stimuli, such as frustration and aversive stimuli (Berkowitz, 1989). In general, traditional orientations have examined intrapsychic variables in the form of physiological and cognitive processes. This is an extremely individualistic and sometimes solipsistic view of aggressive behavior since it tends to exclude other people, except for their roles as eliciting, inhibiting or reinforcing stimuli.
