Instigating factors would increase the likelihood of aggression. Instigating trigger is defined as situational events or circumstances with the potential to lower the threshold of carrying out aggressive acts. According to the theory, the commission of aggressive behavior can be determinate by the interactions among instigating trigger, impelling forces, and inhibiting force. Finkel proposed a model (I 3 theory) aimed at explaining aggressive behavior, taking into consideration many of the known factors that were associated with aggressive behavior. Several theories have been developed in order to integrate these factors and explain their relationships with one another. Previous research has shown that physical aggression can be affected by many factors, such as gender (e.g.,), alcohol use (e.g., ), exposure to violent media (e.g., ). In the current study, the focus would be on physical reactive aggression. Reactive aggression (sometimes also referred to as emotional aggression) is a response to provocation or threat, while instrumental aggression (sometimes referred to as proactive aggression) refers to using aggression as means to an end. Other types of aggression include reactive and instrumental aggression. As each category’s name indicates, physical aggression involves physical harm to others, verbal aggression includes the use of language to hurt people, and indirect aggression involves social manipulation, such as social exclusion that ultimately results in harm to others. The mostly used categories are physical, verbal, and indirect aggression. Previous research has proposed several types of aggressive behavior. Therefore, much effort has been devoted to the understanding and prediction of aggressive behavior. This common yet destructive behavior may be the cause of financial loss, emotional distress, physical injury, or even death, to those exposed to it, not to mention other more indirect interpersonal and social costs to individuals and social groups associated with the victims. Aggressive behavior has been defined as any behavior intended to harm or injure another organism which is motivated to avoid such treatment. Regardless of culture or geographical location, various manifestations of aggression and forms of aggressive behavior may be found among groups of individual. These results have implications for refining and targeting training and rehabilitation programs aimed at reducing aggressive behavior. This difference was not found among participants with high inhibitory control. For participants with low inhibitory control only, there was a significant difference between high and low emotion regulation on aggression, such that low emotion regulation participants registered higher aggression than high emotion regulation participants. Results indicated an interaction between emotion regulation and inhibitory control on aggression. We used a hierarchical, mixed-model multiple regression analysis test to examine the effects of emotion regulation and inhibitory control on physical reactive aggression. Seventy-eight participants (40 males) completed self-report measures (Negative Mood Regulation Scale and Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire), a stop signal task, and engaged in a modified version of Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP) exercise, in which the outcome was used as a measure of direct physical aggression.
This study examined the relationship between emotional regulation and inhibitory control in predicting aggressive behavior. Aggressive behavior can be defined as any behavior intended to hurt another person, and it is associated with many individual and social factors.
