Here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by instrumental

00:07

aggression, it's what all pianist suffer from when trying to play the minute [Girl playing the piano]

00:10

waltz so close, yet so far. Here's your question Charlie is angry because the

00:18

network canceled his television show he threw a chair against the window and

00:22

broke it this is a display of what and hear your potential answers.... Well poor

00:29

Charlie was paid millions of dollars a year to recite lines he didn't write for [Charlie reciting lines in a studio]

00:32

a few hours a week he'd probably be angry too if he lost that cash cow but

00:37

throwing a chair in a fit of rage isn't exactly a normal reaction so what is it [Charlie throws a chair at a window and a dog makes sad noise]

00:41

a display of.. well it might sound a bit quote crazy unquote it's definitely not

00:47

sociopathic that would describe an act that displays a distinct lack of empathy [Charlie in a stray jacket behind bars]

00:51

toward others and seeing as a folding metal chair doesn't have feelings well

00:56

this doesn't fit instrumental aggression isn't when you chuck your clarinet [man throwing a clarinet across a room]

01:00

across the room it actually describes a form of aggression that is premeditated

01:03

and performed with a specific goal in mind but unless the whole TV show

01:09

related outburst was simply an excuse to carry out Charlie's much more nefarious [Charlie throws a chair and then sniggers]

01:13

plot against windows across America well this wouldn't really make sense either

01:17

in the context of psychology extinction describes the disappearance of a [an angry face above a picture of a brain]

01:22

previously learned behavior when that behavior is no longer reinforced. So for

01:28

instance maybe Charlie used to we don't know, not destroy everything around him [Charlie laid in a pile of leaves with a deer and rabbit closeby]

01:32

because the whole having a job he didn't want to lose thing reinforced such a

01:37

behavior so once that job went extinct so too would his not destroying [Charlie getting angry]

01:42

everything around him behavior what a guy but not our answer and seeing as

01:47

anger management is something that Charlie should probably attend [People in a circle on the ground discussing anger management]

01:51

missed a class on it and not a description of his window destroying tendencies we're going [hammer smashes through a window]

01:55

to rule that one out too so cross out D. While hostile aggression fits and is

02:00

our winner as it's a term that describes reactive aggression yeah it's the sort [man carrying a gatling gun]

02:05

of thing that happens in reaction to something unfavorable with a simple

02:08

purpose of harming or damaging someone or some thing in the question Charlie's

02:12

reacting to the show's cancellation by damaging the

02:15

window in a fit of rage but while some more eloquent and academic types refer [professor teaching a class]

02:19

to it as hostile aggression, we tend to lean towards a more straightforward term

02:24

like er, yeah temper tantrum [Charlie as a baby having a tantrum]
