The general aggression method

Select three components of the General Aggression Model (e.g., components part of person factors, situation factors, or social encounters), then create a PowerPoint presentation where your goal is to teach how each explains aggression.

  1. Use the three components to prepare slides that discuss what you believe best explains why people become aggressive.
  2. Prepare slides that discuss at least three assumptions that these components would make about the definition of aggression. Present an argument about whether you find that these assumptions are, in fact, in line with the definition/assumptions that you had of aggression before you started the course?

a. If so, what have you learned new?

b. If not, how has this model helped to enhance your assumptions of aggression? How?
