Hostile aggression in applied social psychology refers to intentional behavior aimed at harming others, often driven by anger or frustration. Applied social psychology explores the causes and consequences of hostile aggression in various contexts, such as workplaces, schools, or communities, with the goal of developing interventions to reduce and prevent such behavior. Understanding the factors that contribute to hostile aggression can inform strategies for promoting more positive and healthy social interactions.

Psychology can be thought of as the study of behavior and mental process. Sociology, is like the psychology of society - the behavior of people within society, how society affects the mental process/actions of the each person.
The main branches of psychology are clinical, counseling, educational, developmental, industrial-organizational, and social psychology. Each branch focuses on different aspects of human behavior and mental processes, with clinical psychology focusing on mental health and counseling psychology focusing on providing therapy and support. Applied psychology uses psychological principles to solve real-world problems, such as in fields like organizational behavior, sports psychology, and forensic psychology.
Social problems refer to issues or conditions that negatively affect individuals or society as a whole, often resulting from structural inequalities or injustices. These problems can involve aspects such as poverty, discrimination, inequality, crime, and inadequate access to resources or opportunities. Addressing social problems may require collective action, policy changes, and efforts to promote social justice and equality.
Psychology focuses on individual behavior and mental processes, while other social sciences such as sociology and anthropology look at broader social structures and cultural systems. Psychology also emphasizes experimentation and empirical research to study the mind and behavior. Additionally, psychology often incorporates the study of cognitive processes, emotions, and mental health.
The social theory that contends that reality is constructed and how social action is understood is known as symbolic interactionism. This perspective emphasizes the importance of symbols, language, and interaction in shaping individuals' perceptions and behaviors within society. It suggests that reality is constantly being negotiated and interpreted through social interactions.
