Key Concepts

Relational Aggression

Relational aggression is a form of aggression that involves harming others by damaging or manipulating their social relationships. It does not rely on physical violence but uses actions such as exclusion, gossip, or subtle interpersonal manipulation to affect a person’s social standing or connections.

Indirect Aggression

Indirect aggression refers to behaviors that are not overtly confrontational; instead, they aim to harm someone's social position or relationships behind the scenes. This approach often involves covert strategies, targeting the victim's social network rather than engaging in direct, physical confrontation.
