Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have found that individuals with high self-esteem who believe they are not receiving enough respect from others are more likely to engage in aggressive behavior. This is because they feel threatened by the perceived lack of respect and may use aggression as a way to assert their dominance or gain respect from others. People with low self-esteem may also be aggressive, but for different reasons such as insecurity and fear of others.
