PRINCIPLE OF SPECIFICITY AT THE STUDY OF AGGRESSION

The study deals with the application of the specificity principle in t he conceptions of aggression. In many conceptions, the tension between unitary and specifying approaches to the aggression is evident. The r elation between the principle of specificity and integration is explor ed. The author follows these tendencies in the conception based on the hypothesis of frustration-aggression, in the arousal theory of aggres sion, in the conception of moral disengagement, and in social-cognitiv e theories.
