Gender peculiarities of aggression manifestations in teenager girls

Abstract

It is believed that the reasons for the development and consolidation of aggressive behavior should first be sought in the way parents were bringing up their children in the first years of life, as well as in later periods, including the teenage age. An important condition for the development of aggression is not only social learning as such, but also frustration arising in the absence of parental love and with the constant application of punishment by either or both parents. Prevention and eradication of aggressive behavior can be carried out in two ways: either it is necessary to leave without reinforcements, without a reward, or they must be actively punished for them. If parents fail to pay attention to the aggressive behavior, leaving it without reinforcement, and if at the same time other (positive) behavioral acts are being carried out, which are reinforced, then the aggressive behavior that remains without reinforcement gradually fades. In the case of teenage aggression, the position of ignoring acts of aggressive behavior as a way of preventing and “removing” aggression is questionable and even alarming. Ordinary psychological and pedagogical experience, the practice of psychological counseling and some special studies show that ignoring the acts of teenage aggression is fraught with dangerous consequences and can lead to a further escalation of aggressive behavior, turning it into a habitual form of personal behavior.
