Aggressive BehaviorAggression is a behavioral characteristic that refers to forceful actions or procedures (such as a deliberate attack) with intentions to dominate or dominate. It tends to be hostile, harmful, or destructive and is often motivated by frustration (The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 1995). For an individual, aggressive behavior is considered understandable and normal under appropriate circumstances, but when it is frequent, intense, long-lasting, and pervasive, it is more likely to be a symptom of a mental disorder. Similarly, intergroup aggression can take the form of healthy competition, but can become harmful when an unfair or unfair disadvantage or frustration is perceived, leading to hostility (Brown, 1986). Psychopathy is a mental disorder characterized by self-centeredness, impulsivity, irresponsibility, superficial emotions, and a lack of empathy, guilt, or remorse. Pathological lying, manipulativeness, and persistent violation of social norms and expectations are also typical of psychopathic behavior (Hare, 1996). This selfishness, manipulativeness, and ongoing social deviance are often manifested by aggressive behavior that is psychopathological, due to its connection to psychopathy. As a manifestation of the disorder itself, the factors that cause psychopathy result in its aggressive behavior. Hare (1996) theorized that psychopathy may be related to brain dysfunction “reflecting structural or functional abnormalities in brain mechanisms and circuits…responsible for the coordination of cognitive and affective processes (Intrator et al., 1995).” Damage to the medial temporal cortex, amygdala, and particularly the orbito/ventromedial frontal cortex has been correlated with “dissociation… mid-article… dle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall, Inc. .
