The definition of the word "aggression" in psychology by many scientists is seen as a form of behavior that is not always convenient for socium, causing harm to others. This punishment, destroying the behavior, influencing the accepted social norms of a society and causing huge psychological discomfort. This is gossip, the dissemination of untrue information and hostile fantasy, as well as murder and suicide.
In the animal world, aggression helps to survive, and in a civilized society, attacks of aggression give rise to numerous chronic diseases of office workers, who, as a rule, have nowhere to throw out their accumulated dissatisfaction with management or authorities.
Depending on what kind of incentive the aggressor has, and what reaction he expects from the victim, eight types of aggression stand out:
- provoked - the attacking person provoked this behavior;
- unprovoked - the victim did not provoke the attacker in any way;
- offensive - the man was the first to cause violence, and not to defend himself;
- protective - response to violence actions;
- response - revenge for the damage;
- aggression caused by irritation, - actions that help to remove irritation;
- incentive - the cause of such actions is the desire to get a stimulus for something;
- sanctioned - supports the social norms of society.
The so-called verbal aggression has a great influence on a person: a victim can be pushed to suicidal thoughts, including via the Internet. It is expressed in cries, insults, gossip, slander. Unfortunately, this method of negative impact has gained a second wind due to the popularization of social networks, and especially the teenagers and young people are reacting desperately to it, up to suicide.
On a large scale, social aggression acts. Its example can be the pressure of the state on its citizens, and the answer to it will be negativism, resentment, suspicion, counter aggression.
The last listed manifestations of aggression are determined using Bassa-Darka testing. It is designed to diagnose human aggression. The method is a questionnaire of 75 statements. By the total number of matched options, indices of aggressiveness and hostile reactions are calculated.
It is possible to remove aggression of a person only after understanding the causes of its appearance, and using individual medication (antidepressants) or a popular approach (sessions of a psychologist or psychotherapist, sports, massage, tea therapy).
The risk group includes those who:
- represent a person demonstrative or narcissistic;
- acute acute mental illness;
- It is aggressive after the received craniocerebral traumas;
- has a depression associated with anxiety and a violation of the metabolism of serotonin;
- is a teenager;

In the fight against aggression, it is necessary to understand the entire mechanism of manifestation of aggression. We often think that attacks of aggression begin with hostility, both with a negative attitude toward the world and a system of assessments, according to which a person judges people, objects and phenomena. Next, there is anger that induces action, and the actions or behavior of a person is aggression. But based on existing types of aggression, it does not always go in conjunction with anger. However, as in anger, a person is not necessarily aggressive.
