Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reactive aggression is characterized by an increased autonomic responsiveness, which includes activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the release of stress hormones like cortisol. It is often a response to a perceived threat or provocation and is distinct from proactive aggression which is planned and purposeful. Psychopathy and hypoactivity of the amygdala may be associated with aggression, but they do not specifically characterize reactive aggression.
