Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most social psychologists define aggression as any behaviour intended to harm another person who is motivated to avoid the harm. This definition takes into account both the intention of the aggressor and the motivation of the victim to avoid harm. It excludes actions that result in harm but are not intended as aggression (such as accidents or unintentional harm) and actions that are aggressive but not intended to harm (such as teasing or verbal insults).
