Download or read book Perspectives on the Psychology of Aggression written by James P. Morgan and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aggression may be defined as: 1: The act of initiating hostilities or invasion; 2. The practice or habit of launching attacks; 3. The practice or habit of launching attacks. Aggression is one of the most important and most controversial kinds of motivation. Its use as a category in the psychology of motivation has often been criticised, because it is clear that it encompasses a vast range of phenomena, from modern war to squabbles between individuals. There is an important familial component to aggression, antisocial behaviour, crime, and violence. Essentially all people are in some way affected by aggression, whether they are targets of it, engage in it themselves, or are charged with observing and controlling it in others. Thus aggression is of concern to victims, perpetrators, and those professionals charged with its treatment because of personal safety, well-being, or obligation. This new book examines the foundations and manifestations of aggression.
Download or read book Terror on the Highway written by Paul Eberle and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A doctor chases, then assaults an elderly woman after she cuts in front of his BMW; a teenager shoots another driver because the driver "looked at him with disrespect"; one man kills another because "he was driving too slow." These are a few of the many examples of extreme road rage documented by Paul Eberle in this shocking look at the havoc caused by angry people in their cars. Eberle makes it clear that young and old, men and women, and all socioeconomic classes are involved in this epidemic of rage and violence on our highways. In 1998, the California Highway Patrol recorded 209 incidents of Assault with a Deadly Weapon in which a motor vehicle was the weapon used, and in the same year the media reported more than 4,000 stories on road rage nationwide. Since then, the problem has only gotten worse.Eberle lists the warning signs of potential road-rage drivers, suggests ways to avoid such dangerous individuals, discusses the psychology of the car as "holy icon" and the effects of traffic congestion on "mad car disease," expresses skepticism about psychologists specializing in aggressive driving, and proposes ways to reinvent our cities to make them less stressful, dangerous places.Complete with graphic pictures showing the dire consequences of driving while enraged, Terror on the Highway should be mandatory reading in all driver education classes.

Download or read book Driving Lessons written by J. Peter Rothe and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2002-09-20 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the exception of modern warfare, no other human activity has destroyed as many lives as driving a motor vehicle. Traffic crashes kill and injure thousands of Canadians every year at an incalculable financial and emotional cost to society—but rather than rush to stem this tide of human carnage, policy-makers seem to accept the ghastly toll as the price we pay for mobility. Driving Lessons takes a fresh look at the complexities of the road transportation system in depth, going far beyond the symptomatic, linear, reductionist approach. It challenges current traffic safety paradigms that simply blame the driver or target "villains and scapegoats" like impaired or high-risk drivers. It takes issue with road transportation system management that sometimes puts mobility ahead of the safety of road users. As one researcher notes, human beings will make mistakes, and accordingly, "the road transportation system must be designed so that people’s mistakes do not have disastrous consequences."

This book was released on 2007 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpersonal violence has many names depending on the context in which it occurs: domestic violence, child abuse, school bullying. Acts of violence are tragic and expensive, costing the government billions of dollars a year. Anger, Aggression, and Interventions for Interpersonal Violence discusses what clinical scientists know about interpersonal violence and what mental health practitioners can do about it, seeking to advance the way professionals conceptualize interventions for violent clients. Editors Timothy A. Cavell and Kenya T. Malcolm focus primarily on violence among family members and those in intimate relationships. Organized into four sections, the book strives to answer questions such as: What is the relation between anger and aggression? Does that relation vary across different forms of interpersonal violence? How does the anger-aggression relation affect the outcome of treatment? How does it affect the process of treatment? Is it necessary to treat anger specifically? Are there effective ways to treat recurring anger problems? Written by internationally known researchers, this work combines detailed discussion of interpersonal violence with focused commentaries written by additional experts in the field. The entries in this volume offer an intriguing and up-to-date account of the relation between anger, aggression, and the interventions necessary for interpersonal violence. It is a comprehensive guide for researchers and practitioners interested in the topic.
