John Dollard

John Dollard was an American psychologist best known for his work on social learning theory and the development of the frustration-aggression hypothesis. He proposed that frustration can lead to aggressive behavior when an individual's goals are blocked. Dollard emphasized the role of learning in social interactions, suggesting that we acquire behaviors through observation and experience. His research highlighted the complex interplay between emotions, social factors, and aggression, influencing fields like psychology, sociology, and education. His contributions laid the groundwork for better understanding human behavior in social contexts.
