Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Danny's aggression is reactive, as it is a response to the teasing and provocation from the other boys. Proactive aggression is characterized by initiating aggression without provocation or in response to a perceived threat, and prosocial aggression involves using aggression in a socially desirable way (e.g., defending others). Action-reaction aggression is not a recognized type of aggression.
