Definition

  • Although there are many definitions of aggression, most indicate that aggression represents behaviors that are intended to hurt or harm another. Much of the research on aggression has focused primarily upon boys who are physically aggressive (i.e., they physically dominate or intimidate others by hitting, pushing, shoving, kicking, or threatening physical harm).
