Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Instrumental aggression is a type of aggression used to achieve a specific goal, such as gaining a desired object or seat. In this scenario, Jason's goal was to sit next to Grandma and he used aggression to achieve it. This behavior was not driven by anger or a desire to harm Abby (hostile aggression), nor was it aimed at manipulating Abby's social relationships (relational aggression) or avoiding confrontation (passive aggression).
