Answer 1

Answer:

Frustration-Agression Principle.

Explanation:

The Frustration-Agression principle can be understood as the theory that states that the subjective feeling of frustration often leads to individuals exhibiting aggresive behaviors.

Frustration is a feeling of irritation and potent annoyance when an external (or sometimes internal) event prevents the individual from achieving a certain goal.

Aggresion is a malicious act directed to another person or object.

In this particular case, Jorge is a pitcher that in the last inning gave up a home run. He then experienced frustration and afterwards he hit a batter with a fast ball (Agressive behavior).

Jorge's behavior illustrates: The Frustration-Agression principle.
