Aggression

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Aggression is behavior intended to cause harm to another person who is motivated to avoid it.

Show

A shove intended to hurt is aggression; an identical shove intended to prevent a fall is not.

Watch for

Intent is part of the definition. Outcome alone does not classify a behavior as aggression.
