AGGRESSION AND THE DISRUPTION OF GROUPS,

Abstract

A two-pronged approach is suggested to minimize or to ameliorate the disruptive processes in the future underseas weapons's systems. First, train the individuals to control themselves through an understanding of the dynamics of their aggressive feelings and reactions. Teach them to use the renunciation, the substitution, the extinction effects to control their expectations of others, and to handle themselves in conflict. This training will not entirely solve the problem of aggression and the disruption of groups. However, it will reduce it substantially. Second, the suggestion is to outlaw the use of most, if not all, forms of aggression in settling conflicts, and at the same time develop a peer group institution for the resolution of conflicts which individuals are unable to resolve using their own resources.
