Aggressiveness
Aggressiveness refers to a behavior characterized by a readiness to attack or confront. It can manifest in various forms, including physical violence, verbal hostility, or even passive-aggressive actions. This behavior often arises from feelings of frustration, fear, or a desire to assert dominance.
In psychology, aggressiveness is studied to understand its causes and effects on individuals and relationships. It can be influenced by factors such as genetics, environment, and social learning. While some level of assertiveness is healthy, excessive aggressiveness can lead to conflicts and negative outcomes in personal and professional interactions.
