How does social cognition explain how aggressive patterns of behavior, once acquired, can be activated?

What will be an ideal response?


Social cognition theory suggest that once aggressive patterns of behavior are acquired through the learning process, aggression can be activated or provoked through physical assaults and verbal threats or insults, as well as by blocking a person's hopes, desires, and goal-seeking behavior. Other potential triggers of aggression include deprivation and adverse reductions in quality of life.
