Zusammenfassung

Aggression ist ein Problem für Gesellschaften, seitdem es Menschen gibt. Zum einen ist aggressives Verhalten ein evolutionäres Verhaltenskonzept, das die Durchsetzungsstärke und somit das Überleben von Menschen fördern kann, zum anderen ist diese menschliche Eigenschaft Urheber von unendlichem Leid und unglaublicher Grausamkeit über die gesamte Menschheitsgeschichte hinweg. Im folgenden Kapitel stellen wir biologische und sozial-kognitive Determinanten von aggressivem Verhalten dar und beleuchten auch genauer die kognitiven und affektiven Begleiterscheinungen von Aggression. Wir gehen dezidiert auf den biologischen Ansatz, triebtheoretischen Ansatz, Frustrations-Aggressions-Hypothese, sowie lerntheoretische Theorien zu Erklärung von aggressivem Verhalten ein. Schließlich beleuchten wir das scheinbare Problem aggressiver Medien und leiten praktische Interventionen ab, wie Aggression in unserer Gesellschaft insgesamt reduziert werden kann.
