Difference between Aggression and Fear

Aggression vs. Fear

Aggression is overt, often harmful, social interaction with the intention of inflicting damage or other unpleasantness upon another individual. Fear is a feeling induced by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events.
