This is an example of aggression.
- Aggression refers to any behavior that is intended to harm another individual who does not want to be harmed.
- In Nicole's case, the aggression is instrumental aggression, which is aimed at obtaining an object, privilege, or space with no deliberate intent to harm someone physically or psychologically. This contrasts with hostile aggression (also known as affective aggression), where the primary goal is to inflict pain or injury.
