The learning theory of aggression proposes that aggressive behavior is learned through reinforcement and punishment. Therefore, if one believes that aggressive children have been reinforced or rewarded for their behavior, they are adopting a learning view of aggression. Psychodynamic theory focuses on unconscious conflicts and childhood experiences, sociobiological theory suggests aggression is innate in humans and catharsis theory suggests that aggression can be released or reduced through expression.
