What is the difference between instrumental, hostile, and relational aggression? Give an example of each type of aggression. Also, who are most likely to be victimized by such bullies?
What will be an ideal response?
Instrumental aggression occurs when a child uses aggressive acts to achieve some specific goal (e.g., takes a ball from another child because you want to play with her ball). Hostile aggression is committed without provocation and with the intent of intimidating, harassing, or humiliating another individual (e.g., hitting a younger child to make him fear you). Relational aggression involves an attempt to undermine some social relationship (e.g., spreading a rumor about a person's sex habits in order to break up a boyfriend-girlfriend pair). Risk factors for being the victim of a bully include having high levels of aggression and being easily irritated, being withdrawn/submissive, having low self-esteem, and having few friends.
