Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Jeremy's aggression is motivated by the desire for attention and respect from his friends suggests that it is a learned response, rather than the result of frustration or an instinctive behavior. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that his aggression is a result of displacement, which involves redirecting feelings from a more threatening target onto a less threatening one.
