   behavior encouraged by our genetic code, while a
   cognitive psychologist might state that
   aggression is caused by memories or ways we think
   about aggressive behavior

   caused by past rewards for aggressive behavior,
   while a cognitive psychologist might believe
   aggression is caused by an expressed desire to
   fulfill certain life needs

   caused by past rewards for aggressive behavior,
   while a cognitive psychologist might believe
   aggression is caused by memories or ways we think

   psychologist about aggression because they both
