Summary Introduction

Introduction

It is very well-known that frustration serves as a significant cause of aggression. A person usually experiences frustration when their goal or gratification has been obstructed in some way. We all get frustrated at some point in our lives, perhaps more often than others in some cases, and this increased frustration can in turn increase aggression. This is the basis of the frustration-aggression theory.
