- Excitation Transfer Theory
- Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic Viewpoint

- Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis
- Displaced Aggression Theory
Using the Argosy University online library resources, the readings for this module, and the Internet, research your selected theories.
Respond to the following:
- Compare and contrast the two theories you have selected. Create a chart to provide your summary of the differences.
- Examine which theory best explains aggression.
- Support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples.
Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format and include your chart that summarizes the differences between the two selected theories. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Be sure to include a tile page and reference page in APA format.
