Features of Aggressive Behaviour in Persons Legitimizing Aggression

Abstract

Social efforts are aimed at minimizing the forms of aggression that, in a specific cultural and historical context, have been attributed to deliberate violations of the norms of society. Nevertheless, along with them, there have always been sanctioned and encouraged forms of violence in society, which have remained for a long time without the attention of researchers. Legalized aggression is a sanctioned and encouraged form of violence manifested in various spheres of life. The purpose of this article is to con-sider the relationship between the features of aggressive behavior and basic beliefs with the tendency to legitimized aggression among students of different courses of study. It was obtained that the most common way of expressing aggression is verbal aggression. It was revealed that people legitimizing aggression in different spheres of life are characterized by the presence of a basic belief about the ill will of the surrounding world, in addition, people inclined to legitimize aggression will be hostile to others and resort to aggression in the process of communication.
