2) Frustation–Aggression theory, is a theory of aggression
proposed by John Dollard, Neal Miller, Leonard Doob, Orval Mowrer,
and Robert Sears in 1939, and further developed by Neal Miller in
1941 and Leonard Berkowitz in 1969.The theory says that aggression
is the result of blocking, or frustrating, a person's efforts to
attain a goal.
When first formulated, the hypothesis stated that frustration
always precedes aggression, and aggression is the sure consequence
of frustration. Two years later, however, Miller and Sear
re-formulated the hypothesis to suggest that while frustration
creates a need to respond, some form of aggression is one possible
outcome. Therefore, the re-formulated hypothesis stated that while
frustration prompts a behavior that may or may not be aggressive,
any aggressive behavior is the result of frustration, making
frustration not sufficient, but a necessary condition for
aggression.
The hypothesis attempts to explain why people scapegoat.It attempts
to give an explanation as to the cause of violence. According to
Dollard and colleagues, frustration is the "condition which exists
when a goal-response suffers interference," while aggression is
defined as "an act whose goal-response is injury to an organism (or
an organism surrogate)." The theory says that frustration causes
aggression, but when the source of the frustration cannot be
challenged, the aggression gets displaced onto an innocent target.
For example, if a man is disrespected and humiliated at his work,
but cannot respond to this for fear of losing his job, he may go
home and take his anger and frustration out on his family. This
theory is also used to explain riots and revolutions, which both
are believed to be caused by poorer and more deprived sections of
society who may express their bottled up frustration and anger
through violence.
While some researchers criticized the hypothesis and proposed
moderating factors between frustration and aggression,several
empirical studies were able to confirm it as is.In 1989, Berkowitz
expanded on the hypothesis by suggesting that negative affect and
personal attributions play a major role in whether frustration
instigates aggressive behavior.
