Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jennifer and her friends are using electronic means (e-mail and Facebook) to threaten and harass the new girl in class, which is a form of electronic aggression. Passive aggression refers to indirect expression of hostility, which is not the case here. The displacement effect regarding aggression refers to the phenomenon where being unable to express aggression towards the source of frustration, the aggression is displaced onto an easier target. The mean worldview is not a recognized concept in psychology that applies to this situation.
