d) Frustration-Aggression principle

Explanation:

Frustration-Aggression Theory

When we don't achieve the goals that we were after and we feel like we are being hindered to get there we mostly feel aggression.

When we are still pursuing our goal we get so excited at the anticipation of achieving it but as we approach it and stumbling blocks start to hit us we feel frustrated. All the stumbling blocks that hit us increases our frustrations into aggression.

For some people with greater self control they may successfully control their frustration not to get to aggression

Ravi got frustrated that he lost to another student so his goal of becoming the school president was hindered and it went to aggression when he was taking out to this students by spreading rumours to ruin his reputation.

Answer from: martinezizzie

c (fundamental attribution error.)

Explanation:

Option A (mere exposure effect): this does not fit the expression of Ravi election loss, it is not stated that he was exposed to an event that made him lose his election ,or because of the exposure an event made him to send negative stories ,non of this example of mere exposure suites his actions

Option B( ingroup bias): not the concept that his opponent was in the same group has him.

Option C(

fundamental attribution error): this explains his action after his loss , his actions are results of frustration due to his loss .

Option D(frustration-aggression principle.), this principle is quite the same ,but aggression doesn't make it the right answer, their is no form of aggression from His actions such as spreading false rumors.

In conclusion, option c is the best answer as he acted out of frustration.

Athief was passing by a house under construction when he noticed that the ladder being used by workers on the roof had copper braces supporting the rungs. after making sure that the workers on the roof could not see him, the thief used pliers that he had in his pocket to remove all of the copper braces that he could reach from the ground. a short time later, a worker climbed down the ladder and it collapsed. he fell to the ground and severely injured his back. the thief was apprehended a few hours later trying to sell the copper for scrap. a statute in the jurisdiction makes it a felony for "maliciously causing serious physical injury to another." the thief was charged with malicious injury under the statute and was also charged with larceny. after a jury trial in which the above facts were presented, he was convicted of both charges. if he appeals the conviction for the malicious injury charge on grounds of insufficient evidence, how should the court rule? a affirm the conviction, because the thief was engaged in criminal conduct at the time of the act that resulted in the injury. b affirm the conviction, because the jury could have found that the thief acted with malice. c reverse the conviction, because there was no evidence that the thief intended to injure anyone. d reverse the conviction, because there was no evidence that the thief bore any malice towards the workers on the roof.
