Question

Dante wants a cupcake, so he shoves tom aside. tom reacts by bopping dante over the head. tom is showing _____ aggression. reactive proactive indifferent relational

Answer 1

Angry aggression because of his cupcakes

Answer 2

Reactive

Step-by-step explanation:

In this example, Tom is showing reactive aggression. This is because the aggression did not start solely due to Tom, but instead, it was a "reaction" due to the action of Dante (who pushed Tom aside to get a cupcake). While reactive aggression is a consequence of a previous violent action, proactive aggression can happen without a previous threat, provocation or frustration.
