Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Instrumental aggression is used to achieve a specific goal, such as obtaining a toy or getting attention. This type of aggression is more likely to occur during play when children may be competing for limited resources or attention. In other situations, such as interacting with parents or meal times, children may use other forms of aggression (e.g. verbal aggression, physical aggression) to express frustration or anger. Tiredness can also lead to increased irritability and may increase the likelihood of aggression in general, but not necessarily instrumental aggression specifically. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
