Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This action would be classified as emotional aggression because it is impulsive and driven by intense negative emotions, rather than a calculated attempt to achieve a specific goal (instrumental aggression) or a strategy for asserting one's needs or rights without causing harm (assertive aggression). It is also not indirect, as the individual is directly targeting their former coworkers.
