Socialization and Intrapsychic Regulation of Interpersonal Aggression

  • Chapter
Socialization and Aggression

Part of the book series: Recent Research in Psychology ((PSYCHOLOGY))

Abstract

This contribution focuses on socialization, the processes involved in it, and their meaning for the formation of intrapsychic regulators of interpersonal aggression and hostility. Our analysis seeks not only to show that the emergence of aggressive behavior and hostile attitudes is contingent upon experience in the process of socialization but also attempts to identify the sources of specific patterns of intrapsychic regulation of interpersonal aggression and hostility. This essay does not aspire to offer a comprehensive review or synthesis of what psychology now knows about socialization and the developmental determinants of aggressive behavior and hostile life orientations. Rather, what we want to do is to specify certain ideas and points of view which should be taken into account in studying the relationship between socialization and the formation of interpersonal aggression and hostility.
