“…It may very well be that some aggressive behaviour in children is also primarily driven by such strong emotional impulses, given the negative consequences aggressive behaviour tends to have for perpetrators (e.g., Ladd, 2006) and the impulsive nature of many aggressive acts (Berkowitz, 2008). This may be particularly true for reactively aggressive behaviour.…”

Children adapt their behaviour to their social environment through adequate social information processing (SIP). According to the SIP model, social information processing is goal oriented. Yet the subjective experience of reactively and severely aggressive children seems to be that their behaviour is impelled by uncontrollable rage, with no other goal in mind than venting anger and spite. To test whether reactive and proactive aggression by severely aggressive boys were related with experiences of goal directedness, 52 highly aggressive and 30 normal comparison boys were asked to explain their responses to hypothetical provocations by peers. Both highly aggressive and normal comparison boys primarily explained generation and selection of aggressive responses to provocation situations by feeling impelled to act by strong emotions, not with reference to outcome goals. Reactive aggression was specifically related with such emotion explanations for aggression. Moreover, highly aggressive boys more frequently advocated aggression by referring to emotions and referring to a moral rule that taking revenge is imperative, regardless of its consequences. Highly aggressive boys expected their responses to have more negative relational outcomes than comparison boys.

“…The combined effects of both fast, automatic, emotionally driven SIP and more reflective and controlled SIP may perhaps best be described with a dual processing model (de Castro, 2004;cf. Anderson & Bushman, 2002;Berkowitz, 2008;Dodge, 2006Dodge, , 2008. The model specifies an emotional and a reflective route from social stimulus to response.…”

Aggressive behaviors have large social consequences among all species. Aggression may serve to protect one's vital concerns, disrupt relations, and command dominance or subordination and may be a strong source of admiration or rejection (e.g., Aureli & de Waal, 2000). Because of its social importance, multiple biological and cultural mechanisms to regulate aggression have evolved over time, including emotion processes that are key agents in the regulation of aggression, both within and between persons. Humans and other animals are highly sensitive to signals of others' emotional states. Processing of such emotion signals directly affects the perceiver's own emotional state, predisposing both body and mind to respond appropriately. These processes appear partly "hardwired" in the lower brain regions, but they also have an important socially regulated side, in which humans are highly sensitive to the social norms and conventions concerning emotional behavior and the meaning of emotion signals in social interactions (Dodge, 2006;Frijda, 1988).These emotion processes appear to be very relevant to our understanding of aggressive behavior problems in children. Could it be that aggressive behavior problems are triggered by dysregulation of emotional processes in social interaction? Can aggressive behavior problems result from lessened sensitivity
