Description
Everyone gets fed-up or short-tempered from time to time, but why are some people prone to outbursts of violent behaviour? Where does aggression come from and how is it connected to our psychological and emotional behaviour? Why does aggression suddenly flare up, creating havoc all around and how are some people able to manage their aggression, when others seem so trigger-happy and are not?
With new insights, in-depth explanations and discussion from neuroscience and depth psychology, you will examine the evolutionary origins and behavioural manifestations of male and female aggression, gaining a unique opportunity to fully explore this explosive human trait. Beginning in child development, you will learn about the age that aggression manifests, how our psychological and emotional behaviour is linked with hormonal influences, powerful subconscious impulses, and the role of socio-economic factors and cognitive priming in aggressive behaviour. From analytical observations of ‘group mind’ and case studies in forensic psychology, this module provides an excellent overview and analysis of the root cause of aggression, with strategies for management and reduction.
