Question 4

Leo behaves aggressively in various settings. During school breaks, he trips up other children to take their football, which means he gets to play with it. At home, he watches his two older twin brothers play violent video games where they high-five each other after every virtual 'kill' and listens to his father shouting aggressively at other drivers during the school run. On weekends, Leo and his friend group ride their scooters around the local shopping precinct wearing dark, identical bike helmets and face-coverings, knocking over displays and yelling abuse at shoppers.

Discuss one or more social psychological explanations for aggression. Refer to Leo in your answer.
