From a biological perspective, elements that are able to influence aggression includes, genetic influences, neural influences and biochemical influences. Genetic Influences suggests that aggression can be inherited. Research shows that there have been successful attempts at breeding highly aggressive strains of certain animals, such as, mice and rabbits. Overall psychologist believe that our genetic make-up may influence whether or not we are a more aggressive person; however, our environmental factors also play a crucial part in determining wether we do in fact become an aggressive person or if we are pre-disposed to use aggressive behaviour. Neural Influences involves understanding that aggression is not solely formed in one particular area of the brain. Yet, researchers have identified several different parts of the brain involved in the production and control of aggressive behaviour, these included the hypothalamus and the amygdala. The hypothalamus is section of the brain, which helps form new memories, coordinates both the automatic nervous system and the activity of the pituitary. The amygdala is involved with experiencing
