According to Zilmann, any experience that markedly increases the level of overall excitation can lead to unintended circumstances. - 5Outline research support from the excitation transfer model..Kerr (2005)
Found this may explain why aggressive behaviour occurs at football matches, the extreme levels of excitation that occur transfer onto the rival fans - 6Outline the social learning theory...Human social behaviour is not innate but learnt from appropriate models. Through socialisation, children learn to aggress through learning by direct experience, and learning by vicarious experience.
