AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR
PURPOSE: While we can never really know anyone’s intentions (unless we ask them), the
purpose of this assignment is to discuss what you perceive to be an aggressive behaviour
perpetrated by another individual.
You have just participated in a Discussion Forum regarding aggressive behaviour videos posted
y you and your group members. Based on that discussion forum, the lecture, and the reading
from the text book, reflect upon the video you posted considering the following:
• What was the context (e.g., score, time of game, etc.) in which the aggressive behaviour
happened?
• What type of aggressive behaviour (i.e., instrumental or hostile) would you classify this
ehaviour as and why?
• Why do you perceive the behaviour in the clip to be aggressive?
• What do you believe is the most relevant theoretical explanation for why this behaviour
occu
ed and why?
