Peer Rejection and Aggression
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page paper discussing the origin of aggression among teens in terms of peer rejection. There have been countless studies linking excessive aggression with personality, most of which have concluded that heightened aggression can be positively linked with some personality types. Others have used specific personality traits as predictors of aggressive behavior, and several have suggested that peer rejection contributes to development of aggression. Among those teens already suffering from the real or perceived effects of peer rejection, those involved with drugs or alcohol are even more likely to suffer adverse effects. The authors discussed here all bring a different perspective to the issue of aggression arising from peer rejection, supplying possible origins of growing aggressive problems.
