Question

Glynda, a typically kind and caring person, is a fast driver who sometimes takes risks. Last night, when driving home, she sped through a yellow light, lost control of her car, and hit another vehicle, injuring the occupants. Based on her driving, would a social psychologist classify Glynda as aggressive?

Answer 1

Answer: No, because there is no evidence she intended to cause harm.

Explanation: Glynda would not be considered or labeled aggressive because there is no evidence depicting any act of social aggressiveness. Based on personality she is characterized as kind and caring. And the incident which occurred had nothing to do with any act or mode of aggressiveness, the accident occurred because she sped through a yellow light which obstructed her vision before ramming into another vehicle. The accident was down to the risk she took, moving through the lights without a clear vision of what is ahead.
