You ask your professor if you may take an exam a day late. She nicely says no, and reminds you that on the syllabus it says that exams must be taken on the assigned day. You're frustrated, but you know she's right. According to the reformulated frustration-aggression hypothesis, how will you react?

The reformulated frustration-aggression hypothesis states that frustration only leads to aggression when the individual is motivated to aggress and feels negative feelings towards the source of frustration. In this scenario, while the individual may be frustrated, they do not have negative feelings towards the professor and therefore are not likely to react aggressively.
