Discuss the different aspects of the T3 model of aggression, emphasizing how self-control is relevant to each level
What will be an ideal response?
Eli Finke (2014) and colleagues (Denson, De Wall, & Finke 2012? Finke, De Wall et al.,
2012) recently introduced the I3 theory (pronounced "I-cubed theory"). This theory
emphasizes the role of self-control in aggression, which we just discussed in the
previous section. The three Is in this theory stand for: 1 . Instigation—social factors
that often trigger aggressive impulses, such as provocation or social rejection. 2 .
Impel lance—personality and situational factors that promote the urge to aggress
when encountering instigating factors, such as angry rumination or trait
aggressiveness. 3 . Inhibition—the various factors of self-control we described in
the previous section. This theory pits the forces of instigation and impel lance on the
one hand against the power of inhibition on the other to determine the likelihood of
aggression. For example, strong provocation coupled with angry rumination can
overpower a person's self-control abilities that have been compromised by alcohol,
resulting in an elevated likelihood of aggression.
