Step 1
1 of 2Cognitive theorists explain aggression as learned rather than innate, and they try to describe the ways in which it is learned. They emphasize mental processes like thoughts, along with learning and situation. Albert Bandura emphasized that aggression is imitated rather than learned through conditioning. Researches show that children who are exposed to violence in the family are more likely to grow up to become aggressive themselves. The cognitive approach also refers that experience leads to the cognitive schema to develop in the individual’s mind and affects the possibility of aggression.
