What drives human beings to harm one another — and can science offer any answers? In Human Aggression, psychologist Russell G. Geen presents a rigorous and comprehensive examination of one of the most enduring questions in behavioural science, tracing aggression from its biological underpinnings to its social and environmental triggers. The work systematically details the major theoretical frameworks — from frustration-aggression theory to social learning models — drawing on decades of empirical research to construct a coherent picture of why and how humans act with hostility toward others. Geen argues with precision and clarity, grounding each claim in experimental evidence while never losing sight of the real-world implications of his findings. Themes of media influence, provocation, arousal, and individual differences in aggression are examined with equal rigour, making this an indispensable text for students and researchers in social psychology alike. For anyone seeking to understand the darker mechanics of human behaviour, Human Aggression leaves one question unanswered: knowing all of this, what will we choose to do about it?
