The process by which violent behavior occurs The process of violent behavior in patients will be explained using Stuard's stress adaptation concept which includes predisposing and precipitating factors. a. Predisposing Factors Things that can influence the occurrence of violent behavior include a) Biological factors Things that are studied in biological factors include the presence of hereditary factors, namely the presence of family members who often display or carry out violent behavior, the presence of family members who have mental disorders, a history of head trauma, and a history of drug use (narcotics, psychotropics and other addictive substances). . b) Psychological Factors The experience of anger is a psychological response to external, internal and environmental stimuli. Violent behavior occurs as a result of accumulated frustration. Frustration occurs when an individual's desire to achieve something fails or is too late. One of human needs is "behave", if this need cannot be fulfilled through constructive behavior, what will emerge is that the individual will behave destructively. c) Sociocultural Factors Social environmental theory(social environmental theory)stated that the social environment greatly influences an individual's attitude in expressing anger. Cultural norms can support individuals to respond assertively or aggressively. Violent behavior can be learned directly through the socialization process( social learning theory) d. Precipitation Factor Factors precipitating violent behavior in each individual are unique, differing from one person to another. These stressors can be causes originating from within or outside the individual Factors from within the individual include loss of relationships or relationships with people who love or matter (breakup with a boyfriend, divorce, death), loss of love, worry about physical illness, etc. Meanwhile, factors external to the individual include physical attacks, an environment that is too noisy, criticism that leads to insults, acts of violence. 4.
