The article “Everyday Aggression Takes Many Forms” summarizes the research and experiments that have examined a multitude of questions related to how people harm each other daily. Study shows that the loved ones who we talk and interact to the most, are more likely to make us mad or angry. We can show aggression in many forms, whether that be rumors, gossip, physical harm, emotional harm, and much more. The way we aggress towards these people all depend on our relationship with them. Whether the aggression we take upon these people takes the form of physical or social, aggression in its normal state is a harmful factor in our daily lives.

So thus “passive aggression” was added to the research. This aggression would be something like the silent treatment, ignoring calls, or showing up late. This type of aggression does not directly harm the individual, but sends a message that “hey, I’m angry at you” (I don’t believe showing up late does however).

Because of this, researchers are constantly trying to find evidence that men are more aggressive than women. However, it seems that males and females both use direction aggression, but males seem to use sexual aggression more than females. Both parties use indirect aggression no differently from the other and use indirect more often than direct when being aggressive.
How do our social connections tie into our aggression? Well, our own connections (and the ones around us) create our social network. People who have fewer connections can make themselves more isolated, so that if one person knows something about them – it would mean that others may not know about
