Discussion

Human feels various types of emotions that include sadness, anger, happiness as well as surprise and other like disgust. Every developed feeling is the reflect of the emotions associated with the current situation or any other factor that has affected the overall health outcome. All feelings or emotions have impact on the other that result in develop certain behaviours towards the situation (Dzedzickis, Kaklauskas & Bucinskas, 2020). In psychology, the concept of emotions can be considered as the mental states that is developed and brought by the neurophysiological changes that would have impact on the behavioural response as well as other degree of feelings or emotions. The concept of ostracism is considered as the rejection or ignored towards certain factor (Yang et al., 2021). Therefore, it can be stated that it has powerful impact on the emotion of the people. The paper intends to develop the argumentative discussion towards the ostracism that leads to aggression among people.

The concept of ostracism is considered as ignorance or rejection by others. It is the common approach that it will develop hurt among the people. Although, it is considered as the social function or other factor, it is painful for the individual who have been ostracized (Jiang et al., 2021). It has been identified that the ostracism and aggressions are interlinked to each other as there are evidence that developed the significant impact on the emotion of the human. According to Ren, Wesselmann & Williams (2018), it has been found that ostracism triggers aggression. It has been found that the ostracism will develop and facilitate the mass violence. It has been found that ostracized people or individuals faces certain key issues associated with the aggression are due to continual challenges associated with the ostracise. It has been found that most of the ostracise tend to engage with the behaviour of aggression as they are surround or recruited by the violent groups. Therefore, there is higher risk towards the influence in the community or society. As opined by Zhang et al. (2019), it has been found that ostracism have developed the negative impact or effects on the people. It has negative impact on the mental health and cognition that may develop or contribute towards the aggression. It has also been found that certain circumstances of rejection results in aggression behaviours and therefore, it can be stated that it has significant impact on contributing towards the aggression. The anger can be considered as the potential mediator as it is developed and increase with the automation approach. The ostracism increased the feeling of anger and therefore, it is considered as the triggering factor that result in anger. It can also be stated that the ostracism increases the tendency of aggression (Rasool et al., 2021).

Human have the adequate desire to connect with the society or any other factors. The feeling of rejection or negligence from particular key factor would result in certain psychological outcome. Therefore, when an individual undergoes the feeling of ostracism, there have been significant impact and potential chances towards the intolerance and result in aggressions. It has been found that even by recalling the memory of ostracism would initiate the aggression among the people. Ostracism unleashes and uncover multiple negative outcome that may unfold and come in notice over time. Therefore, the person experienced ostracise have felt the pain or the basic needs. It develops the changes in the reflexive stage that would impact and strive on the social pain. It would also result in imposing the poor aggression as the significant coping strategy. It is important that many time ostracism people reflect the pro-socio behaviour that would have significant impact on the overall aggression that can be considered as discouragement (Li, Zhao & Yu, 2019). Therefore, it has been stated and understood that there are positive relations between the ostracism and aggression.

Conclusion

A few people are more probable than others to answer segregation with animosity. To character these individual mediators, specialists have commonly looked in two headings. In one bearing, specialists have zeroed in on the individual qualities that render people more powerless against the aggravation of alienation. For instance, egomaniacs, portrayed by their pompous and delicate confidence, ought to answer particularly ineffectively to segregation. To be sure, members who scored high on self-centeredness (contrasted with the individuals who scored low) were viewed as more forceful towards the wellspring of alienation as well as an honest outsider. A comparative case has been made for dismissal responsiveness, with the end goal that following a segregation occasion, people who are higher in dismissal responsiveness answer more forcefully than people who are lower in dismissal awareness.

It is important to understand that there are various causal factors that is resulting and developing aggression. It has been found that stress, fear along with feeling of loosing would also result in aggression. The feeling of frustrations and mistreated is considered as the key contributory element towards the aggression. Therefore, it can be considered that ostracism is the feeling of mistreat and losing certain things that have the significant impact on the emotions. It is important to develop the understanding the ostracism results in feeling of pain either physical pain or in the form of social injury. Therefore, it is important to work upon this that would help in improving the control on anger or aggressions. It has been found that the ostracism results in social exclusion that may develop the alarming for the individuals to cope-up with the situation (Rajchert, Konopka & Huesmann, 2017). There is higher chances or vulnerability towards the anger or aggressions. Therefore, the feeling of social rejections should be addressed with effective approach, the provision of significant counselling is important for the individuals that would help in reducing the poor outcome.

It has also been found that many people have the urge towards the aggression or anger however, they have consciously controlled the anger and impulse for better behaviour and reflection of emptions. In such case scenario, angry mood is considered as the signal that affect body with harmful action. Therefore, it has been understood that there is higher probability among the people to develop the aggression due to ostracism, social exclusion or rejections. Furthermore, it has been found that the ostracism has also developed the strong desire that has affected and influenced the discrimination and therefore, it can be considered as the key element that would require the needful coping strategies for better quality of life. Aggression has negative impact on the mental health. The involvement or associated with aggression may affect the interpersonal relationships, followed by the physical injury that would develop the tendency to engage within the fights. It has been found that there has been onset or worsening of the condition that has affected the mental health disorders (Jiang & Chen, 2020). The ostracism leads to aggression and extreme exposure to aggression may also develop the feeling of resentment within oneself. Therefore, it affects the relationships with family, people and friends. Therefore, it is important to develop the significant key element that would help in improving the overall health outcome.
