Article Improvement

As a part of our Advanced Social Psychology course, my classmate and I will be working on this article. Below are my first ideas on how to improve it. We will be adding more to this thread.

Lead Section

The lead section will be expanded, with

• more detailed and precise description
• then a summary of the hypothesis development:
  • from the first time the connection between aggression and frustration was proposed in the 1939 book by Dollard et al.
  • then the first time the hypothesis was clarified and proposed in The frustration-aggression hypothesis paper by Miller at al. (1941)

• then the examination and reformulation of the hypothesis by Berkowitz (1989) which proposed that frustration and ultimately aggression is strongly instigated when individuals think they have been deliberately and wrongly kept from their goal Kelli036 (talk)

• and to the modern research on it, e.g., Frustration–Aggression Theory by Breuer and Elson (2017)

• [It may be helpful to make theory development its own section since we have a lot of articles on this. For the lead section, we can have a brief paragraph on what frustration aggression hypothesis is. Maybe even pulling from the example inforamtion. See my comment below under Examples] Kelli036 (talk)

Empirical Studies

This has to be the next section after the lead section. The more detailed history of the hypothesis development outlined in lead section will be here, including modern research.

• Early research Kelli036 (talk)
  • The article's description of Dill and Anderson's study in 1995 needs to be refined. (Discuss methodology and results/findings) Kelli036 (talk)
• Modern research Kelli036 (talk)
  • Williams (2009) study, which looked at the impact of violent video game content, frustration with gameplay, and hostility. Kelli036 (talk)
  • Shackman and Pollack (2014) study, which looked at externalizing behavioral problems related to frustration and other reactive aggression in physically maltreated children Kelli036 (talk)

Examples

Examples section that is in the article now will go next, with fixed citations.

Some of the information under this section may be better under the lead section (i.e., everything after "According to Yale Group...") Kelli036 (talk)

References

Citations will be checked, cleaned up, added to.
