AGGRESSION - AN INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION BARRIER

Summary/Abstract: The problem of aggression in communication and interpersonal relations is current for the Bulgarian society after some tragical events related to the manifestation of violence and hostility by youngsters to peers in the recent years. Both aggression and hostility pose grave barriers to interpersonal communication in the context of formal and informal interactions among people. Series of psychological researches that we have carried out during the period 2001-2003 verify some theoretical and empirical patterns, so that they outline a specific perspective in the field of social psychology, one that refers to the study of etiology, mechanisms and forms of aggression in the process of communication. We hereinafter discuss the nature, functions and definite manifestations of verbal and physical, active and passive, direct and indirect forms of aggression in interpersonal communication. By means of the phenomenological approach here are described and analyzed the so-called aggressive styles of communication, as we have examined the relations among particular verbal and nonverbal patterns of communication and some determinants of aggressive behaviour.
