"Phenomenology is concerned with the study of experience from the perspective of the individual, 'bracketing' taken 'for' granted assumptions and usual ways of perceiving. Epistemologically, phenomenological approaches are based in a paradigm of personal knowledge and subjectivity, and emphasise the importance of personal perspective and interpretation" (Lester 1999: 1)
[Children] were not connecting this problematic behavior with the conflict resolution skills that were introduced at the end of the program" (Ostrov 2013). Unlike more aggressive forms of bullying, however, relational aggression does not abate with age and persists well into college age, as revealed in a recent study of interviews of college women which "revealed that relationally aggressive episodes involved small groups of women, took on common forms, included key content issues, occurred through face-to-face and mediated communication, and were managed in limited ways" (Miller-Ott & Kelly 2013)
" Media exposure which showed forms of relational victimization increased the phenomenon in children in the age 3-to-5 category. "Rates of relational (but not physical) aggression increased in preschool children that were relationally victimized, whereas rates of physical (but not relational) aggression increased in children that were physically victimized" (Ostrov 2013)
However, aggression's relationship with low self-esteem is a complex one. Narcissism and self-esteem are positively correlated (Barry et al
History Studying the possible genetic influence of aggression began in earnest in the late 20th century, and transformed from a scientific goal to a social movement. "Francis Galton, who coined the term eugenics in 1883, perceived it as a moral philosophy to improve humanity by encouraging the ablest and healthiest people to have more children" (Carlson, n
The tainted history of using biology to explain criminal behavior has pushed criminologists to reject or ignore genetics and concentrate on social causes: miserable poverty, corrosive addictions, and guns. Now that the human genome has been sequenced, and scientists are studying the genetics of areas as varied as alcoholism and party affiliation, criminologists are cautiously returning to the subject" (Cohen, 2011)
Violent crime grew around 3.5 times from the 1960s to the mid-1990s (Comings, 1996)
However, it does suggest that the same social factors that are likely to impact self-esteem can then elicit aggression. Oddly enough, this can only be said to be true because the relationship between self-esteem and aggression was consistent even when variables such as socioeconomic status were controlled for in the study (Donnellan et al
Moreover, aggression does not mean that someone is engaging in a violent manner. "Acceptable aggression expressed in judging or subduing others is also a safety valve for discharging remaining pent-up aggression (Fauteux, 1994)

In other words, the de-nition above is de-ned in such a way as to imply that the aggressor is a "perpetrator" and the aggression recipient is a "victim." As such, this is an incomplete de-nition of aggression" (Ferguson & Beaver, 2009)
Rather than simply focusing on the cognitive processes behind emotion, Izzard examined the elements of emotions that he believed went beyond cognitive information processing. What he came up with was the idea that there are four different levels of emotions processing: neural, sensorimotor, affective, and cognitive (Izard, 1993)
A person experiences aggressive feelings and instincts, even if the person chooses not to act on those instincts. "We must distinguish between two facets of emotion, the functional and the experiential" (Kosslyn & Koening, 1992)
However, when combined with childhood abuse, the MAOA link told a very different story. "Mutations in the MAOA gene, in combination with an abusive upbringing in the early years of life, substantially increase the risk of future antisocial and violent conduct" (Marchant, 2012)
However, even while it became increasingly unpopular to suggest that certain antisocial behaviors, including aggression, had a genetic component, it also became clearer that there did appear to be some hereditary component. Succinctly put, research was providing evidence to support the anecdotal observation that "aggression and antisocial behavior run in families" (Miles & Carey, 1997)
Individual free will has long been the criminological touchstone of determinism, using volition as a key to establishing that intent. Logically then, if volition of action is impaired, so too is the element of mens rea removed" (Mitchell, 2005)
One of the questionnaires was administered before they were given androgens, while the other was administered three months after they began the androgens. The research found that the androgens did make the subjects more anger-prone, although it did not increase overt aggressive behavior (Van Goozen et al
"Certain genotypes seem to be more, or less, at risk for criminality. Molecular studies have shown that specific genes are associated with traits linked to crime and offending, such as impulsivity, low self-control, and hyperactivity" (Wright et al
The above example reveals, at a minimum, that I am aware of race, including my own. This example also seems to reveal that I have an internal locus of control and responsibility, as does Fred (Sue & Sue, 2007)
Similarly, other empirical studies too have come to the same conclusion (Dominick, 1984; Lin & Lepper, 1987). Similarly, some researchers have tied a connection of adult aggression with violent video games as well (Anderson & Dill, 2000)
