Question

Tai and Maritza are both being considered for a promotion, but there is only one spot to fill. Tai knows that the competition is close. So one day during lunch, he opens a file on Maritza's computer and changes some figures concerning the project she is working on, knowing that this will cause her project to bomb, thereby ensuring that he gets the promotion. What social psychological concept does this illustrate?

Answer 1

Answer:Instrumental aggression

Step-by-step explanation:

Tai exhibits the instrumental aggression by changing the project of her colleague.

Instrumental aggression is a type of behavior in which a person shows aggression to achieve his/her goal. A person who shows this behavior plots against the rival to get success. When one is successful in achieving his goal he/she is lured to do such an act again to get the desired reward.
