Aggression motivation and inhibition

Human aggression remains subject to extensive exploration and theoretical reflection. Historical explanations for aggression have shifted from single factors (i.e. poor affect regulation; Berkowitz, 1993), to more current integrated theoretical models covering multiple factors (Megargee, 2011). Despite this, conceptual debates and differences remain due to varying interpretations as to the nature of aggression, how it is displayed and its function(s) (Krahe, 2013).
