Frustration Aggression Hypothesis

This argument was proposed by Dollard et al. (1939) to explain that aggression is always caused by some form of frustration.  It is argued that people are motivated to reach goals, but if these goals are blocked then frustration occurs.  In this hypothesis frustration always leads to aggression.
