frustrationaggression hypothesis  

Definición

  • The frustrationaggression hypothesis is an attempt to explain aggressive behavior by linking it to frustration, in particular frustration of goals. One important application involves scapegoating, where it is suggested that as sources of frustration accumulate—during an economic crisis, for example—the frustrated groups might unleash their aggression against a convenient social target, often a minority group.
