Abstract

Aggressiveness in military personnel is a complex behavioral and psychological phenomenon shaped by a wide range of determinants. Military service represents a high-demand environment where individuals are exposed to intense stressors, strict organizational regulations, deprivation-related experiences, and adaptation challenges. Additionally, traumatic exposure and collective climate within military units influence emotional regulation and aggression-related outcomes. This article provides a theoretical and analytical review of the key determinants of aggressiveness among service members: operational and chronic stress, disciplinary constraints, deprivation, trauma, adaptation pressure, and unit climate. Particular emphasis is placed on the interaction between individual vulnerability and environmental factors, including psychological mechanisms such as frustration, emotional dysregulation, hyperarousal, cognitive distortions, and social learning processes. Understanding these determinants is essential for developing preventive interventions and strengthening psychological resilience in military systems.
