The most well- known outcomes are that frustration gives rise to aggression (Dollard and Miller, 1939) and that the aggression can be caused by punishment or disapproval.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND The theories of aggression can be further classified into two categories; they are – • The Physiological or Biological Theories. • The Psychological Theories. Instinct Theory (Freud, Lorenz -Death Instinct) comes under the Physiological Theories of aggression. Lorenz formulated this theory based on his research on animals; he believed that Aggression is an instinct found in animals which is spontaneous in nature; it is also a protective defense mechanism used by them whenever
There are 3 theories that go towards explaining aggression, each giving a different view on what causes aggression. These theories are the Social/Psychological theory, Biological theory and the Evolutionary theory on aggression.

It has been assumed that if an individual possesses negative attitude towards women; also has a permissive and instrumental sexual attitude and exhibits high physical aggression tendencies, then he/she might be a potent risk towards women in the society in the future.

Aggression inside women has been their survival strategy and they used their aggression as an instrument to achieve their goal and to gain control over their lives and situation.

Whether physical or verbal, aggressive behaviour is frowned upon and being able to understand the causes and influences can help us inform how best to prevent or manage these behaviours. Reductionist approaches take a complex human behaviour such as aggression to be reducible by breaking it down into simpler components. There are
