Mankind rightly calls itself the higheststep of the evolution of beings, but not only through reason, consciousness, intellect, but also through emotions. Emotions that can not be isolated, reduced to a certain list of the main reactions of the organism to what is happening around and inside it. They are unique, amazing. Each of them can not be called negative, even when it comes to aggression. Sometimes it happens and useful. In which situations, the aggression, the psychology of its occurrence, becomes dangerous and requires adjustment? Let's try to understand.
The concept of aggression can not be reduced to defining itas a negative reaction. Aggression (psychology has long come to this conclusion) is a whole complex of reactions, sometimes mobilizing the human body to take specific actions (which is good in some situations, and bad in others, not approved by society). It is not the main emotion, in its purest form, aggression includes a number of basic: anger, fear, disgust. Sometimes, with an admixture of surprise, and even joy.
It is possible to single out aggression as a temporary phenomenon,characteristic of all people, but it is possible and aggression, formed as a trait of character. At such rates and before antisocial actions are near. That's when aggression becomes dangerous and with these manifestations it is necessary to work: correct, redirect, smooth, change in the end.
No wonder in every kindergarten, in every school, andeven in some large organizations there is a psychologist. Difficulties of behavior can arise at any stage of our lives, and we need to learn to cope with them. And without psychologists sometimes it is quite problematic, especially in the case of aggression. Sometimes a person does not notice how aggressive he is.
The task of correcting aggression begins withsearch for the causes of its occurrence. A person can copy the behavior of his parents (especially this argument with respect to verbal aggression in children), relatives, friends, associates, peers. Or he can become aggressive because of some tragic events in his life. Reasons are identified in order to find suitable psycho-corrective measures.
Aggression is also seen as a reaction eitheraimed at themselves, or on others (at all indiscriminately, or on representatives of specific social strata). In the first case, aggressiveness is caused by low self-esteem, a string of failures, failures, depression. Can be accompanied by depression. The manifestations of aggression are also mass: in speech, in physical violence against others or over oneself, in expressions of anger, in outbursts of anger (a person can throw something, swing, but not strike, knock with his fist, raise a noise in a different way). Sometimes aggression, psychology describes and such cases, may not be noticeable to others, may look like another emotion.
Identify aggression, understand the causes andTo determine whether the situation requires intervention by a psychologist, methods to detect aggression will help. You will not find true psychological, serious, scientific, well-founded methods, they are not available in free access. But every psychologist has it. And yet, let's name them, all of a sudden you'll be able to find: Bassa-Darka's technique, Wagner's hand-test, a special questionnaire of G. Lavrentieva. (used by psychologists in kindergartens). They will help to diagnose aggressiveness and "Drawing of non-existent animals" (for children), and Lusher's color test, Rosenzweig's pattern test, "Unfinished sentences" test. Some of them are similar to tests, which we often saw in magazines, in newspapers. They consist of a series of questions, you answer and count the points for each answer. Some are rather unusual and resemble popular Rorschach spots (blots that judge your imagination, emotional state, and even intellect). If the first you will easily understand, then the second do not take risks (aggression, the psychology of man in general - very fragile "matter"), it is better to go along with the psychologist, he will help to draw the right conclusions, understand the instructions for interpreting the results. Especially important in the diagnosis and observation method (a person should be the most objective, it is advisable to use special equipment, and this can only be done by a professional), interviewing and analyzing behavior by a professional psychologist.
If aggression prevents a normal live, develop,spoils the relationship with others, if you are afraid of your child, often showing a negative, contact a professional. The psychologist will help you learn how to deal with the negative and guide emotions in the right direction.
