punishment is self defeating; the effect can be worse than the behavior that prompted the punishment.
In the theory of Motivation, Franken says that frustration may create aggression because,
Humans are motivated to survive and that they come into the world with general mechanisms and systems to help them to survive. One of those is
the tendency to take what we need and to use force if necessary. When basic needs are frustrated, a very powerful force is set to lose. When such
frustration is combined with difficult life conditions, this stage is set for aggressive behaviors to develop 229.
Franken suggests that motivation can be triggered by hostile feelings. There are two impacts that hostile feelings can do. First, they motivate the individual to
escape the threat. Second, hostile feelings can motivate an individual to attack the threat 230.
