Answer
Distinction between Instrumental and Hostile Aggression
Instrumental aggression is the act of aggression meant to achieve a certain goal or an object.
e.g. - A bully slaps a new student in school so that she can snatch the newcomer's chocolate.
Hostile aggression is an expression of anger towards the target, with the intention of harming her/him, even if the aggressor does not wish to obtain anything from the victim.
e.g. - A criminal may beat up a person in the community for mentioning his name to the police.
