Question 4

what is the frustration-aggresion hypothesis and evaluate

Answer 4

the build of frustation causes agressive behaviour.
this happens when goals are blocked.
the build up of frustation can be reduced if an agresive act is carried out, this is called catharsis, if this isnt done more frustration is built up and it leads to more aggresion.
eg fouled whilst running to shoot into the goal, might retalisate by pushing the player that fouled him, this released agression may calm the sitch down and catharsis might occur.if not he will become more frustarted so are prone to more agressive behaviour.

can get frustrated due to- loosing, poor play,disagreement w ref, being fouled.

evaluate-
not all frustation leads to agression

aggresive cue hypothesis

Answer 5

aggresion is caused by a learned trigger.
when these learned cues are present they act as a stimulous for the performer to act aggresivly.
