Passive-aggressive examples

Stopping in the middle of communication is a common occurrence in any relationship.

The body language, eye contact, how conversational words express their real meaning, and body language of their voice usually lead to those moments when the connection to that person dries up.

Passive-aggressive behavior has actually been recognized as a necessary strategy for managing an angry or sulky person.

Moreover, scientists have reported that frequent avoidance of criticism and mild ridicule directed at one’s children by their parents can have negative or positive effects on that child as an adult.

However, these indirect interventions have taken this active aggressive act to a different level — they have become an integral part of our interpersonal communication — and result in negative effects on our individual’s personal and social lives.

This paper explores the cognitive theory of passive aggression and several violent behaviors, which covers the escalation patterns and destructive effects of “passive-aggressive” behavior.

As for the possible behavioral explanations of passive-aggressive behavior and their respective consequences, these are usually the following:

Unconscious passive aggression

Passive aggression is very often triggered by the intensity of the relationship between an individual and the people in his/her life.

“The more there is a tension in a relationship, the more often it intensifies interpersonal aggression” (Verbena R, Proctor, G (2010), p. 7).

Stress on another individual

“The more a person comes to the limit of being able to control his anger, the higher the chances that he will come to the limit of being able to control his emotional connection to his family, friends, school, or work” (Verbena R, Proctor, G (2010), p. 7).

Unconscious violent behavior

“Aggression” appears in the dictionary as an act or behavior undertaken in response to the existing level of stress.

Stress is defined as the difficulty in modifying one’s emotional response to something, which means that an individual becomes aggressive towards him/herself or others.

The model

As a result of the growing complexity of communication and language, people use analogies, words of repetition, avoidance, verbal expressions that target a particular group of people, such as “NO” or “HEAR NO VOICE!” and also to reduce emotional and behavioral pressure as a method to manage behavioral triggers of stress.

Thus, passive-aggressive behavior, for example, becomes a necessary contribution to the resolution of passive-aggressive behavior.

Thus, we will try to see through the unconscious psychological causes of passive-aggressive behavior by studying how these behaviors are developed and how they may be prevented by trying to manage the ones we are experiencing.

In addition, active behaviors involve improving emotional, mental, and physical well-being in one’s life.

Passive-aggressive behavior threatens your emotional well-being by hitting someone to silence his/her voice and your physical well-being because of passive-aggressive behavior.

For this reason, we will explore the consequences of passive-aggressive behavior and explore the quantitative trends of domestic abuse and its variations in different individual cases.

However, our interest in the discussion of the model of the perceptual biases of expressions such as “NO” and “HEAR NO VOICE!” will not only be restricted to the outcomes of passive-aggressive behavior but also to the violent consequences of this behavior in relationships.
