It can be defined as a relatively constant individual disposition or group characteristic manifested by the frequency, intensity and mode of aggressive behaviour. Aggressiveness has an inborn basis but its frequency, intensity and form are acquired during life and can therefore be influenced by the environment, i.e. also by training and psychotherapy. With regard to the genesis and purpose we differentiate between reflex, instrumental aggression, aggression with an end in itself and aggression resulting from affection. Psychological theories on the genesis of aggression can be divided into endogenous, exogenous and the interaction approach.
