Question

orge is a pitcher for his high school baseball team. In a game against his school's biggest rival, he gave up a home run, which gave the opponents the lead. When the next batter came up, Jorge hit him with a fastball and was ejected from the game. Jorge's behavior illustrates______.A) blaming the victim.B) the just-world phenomenon.C) the frustration-aggression principle.D) scapegoat theory.

Answer 1

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

• The frustration-aggression principle states that on blocking of an objective of an individual, he might get frustrated which further leads to aggression.

• Frustration is defined as feeling of being irritated and annoyed on not being able to attain one's goal when it is hindered by something.

• This further leads to aggression which is a quite dangerous attitude towards a person or a thing.

Thus in relation to the scenario with Jorge, the frustration- aggression theory follows.

As after losing the lead from the biggest rivals he got frustrated which made him aggressive enough to hit a fastball resulting in his elimination from the game.
