Tretyakov S. Personal and situational determination of an individual's aggressive behaviour.

The dissertation introduces the personal-and-situational approach to the analysis of the phenomenon of aggression. The aggression and aggressive behaviour are considered as a complex phenomenon. The peculiarities of aggression manifestations and aggressive behaviour in security guards were detected. The author has shown that the aggressiveness of the subjects and the level of its manifestation depend on a series of personal and situational factors, e.g. actual self-perception and self-attitude, relations in their families, relationships with fellow workers, management etc. The evidence was provided that the aggressive behaviour mechanism can be presented as a complex of four correlating factors: excitability, veiled cruelty, negativism, and feeling of guilt. A correction program including psychological training elements was developed for prevention and relief of aggression and aggressive behaviour in security guards. The results obtained from the practice proved that the corrective impacts are sufficiently effective, on one hand, for correction of aggressive forms of behaviour and on the other hand, for optimization of personal formations.
