Describe meaning and forms of aggression. Discuss theoretical approaches to aggression.

Aggression is a central concept in social psychology, as it plays a significant role in interpersonal and group dynamics. It refers to behaviors intended to harm or injure another person, either physically or psychologically. Understanding aggression requires examining its definition, forms, and the theoretical frameworks that explain its origins and manifestations.

### Meaning of Aggression

In social psychology, aggression is defined as any behavior aimed at causing physical or emotional harm to others. It is intentional and differs from accidental harm or assertiveness. Aggression can be overt or covert, verbal or physical, and may occur in various social contexts. 

Aggression often arises from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. It serves different purposes, such as establishing dominance, retaliating against perceived threats, or protecting resources. However, not all aggressive acts are identical, leading to a distinction between various forms of aggression.
