Aggression

Question 5 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following is an example of hostile aggression?

Answer
A
tackling the ball carrier during a football game
B
kicking someone during a heated argument
C
pushing someone in order to reach a door first
D
slapping someone during a scripted performance

Explanation

Hostile aggression is behavior intended to hurt someone, usually driven by anger. Kicking someone during a heated argument fits because the action is aimed at harming the other person. Tackling a ball carrier is part of the rules of football, pushing to reach a door first is goal-directed rather than primarily intended to hurt, and a scripted slap is performed rather than genuinely aggressive.
