The frustration‐aggression hypothesis is examined in the light of a corpus of ethnographic data and is shown to be inadequate to account for the observed behaviors. An alternative model is tentatively proposed that incorporates the frustration‐aggression hypothesis, other extant approaches to the study of aggression, and early and current theories in the field of emotion within a systems‐oriented framework. This model is then tested against additional ethnographic data.
