Scott-Lennon and Considine (2008:36) mention that women who find it difficult to stand up for themselves can become victims of aggression. Participants experienced aggression when they have to try keeping the peace , while the aggressor is constantly cross. Anger is experienced as aggression. Tehrani (2004:191) states that threatening and intimidating behaviour is identified as aggression. Rayner et al. (2002:95) explain that some individuals use their strong personalities to threaten other. Literature confirms that when personalities clash , aggression could develop (Jefferson , 2008:50 ; Rayner et al. , 2002:96).
