Some Fundamental Categories of the Theory of Action: A General Statement
Theory in the social sciences should have three major functions. First, it should aid in the codification of our existing concrete knowledge. It can do so by providing generalized hypotheses for the systematic reformulation of existing facts and insights, by extending the range of implication of particular hypotheses, and by unifying discrete observations under general concepts. Through codification, general theory in the social sciences will hel…

Mark Twain's Exhibitionism
A content analysis of Mark Twain's letters and novels is used to measure the variations in strength of his exhibitionistic motivation over a 33 year period. Within a theoretical framework, biographical events are matched with these changes to show how they served to arouse or inhibit his attention-seeking behavior in social interaction and fantasy

A theoretical framework for personality and social behavior
In last twenty years data of social psychology have been meager and personality studies have been mostly restricted to clinical observations. A theory is needed to facilitate development in these areas. Properties of a theory for personality and social behavior include (1) actions, i.e., the basic events to which behavior theory has reference; (2) dynamics, i.e., changes in behavior in (a) performance (b) acquisition and (c) potentialities for ac…

Frustration and aggression.
The authors postulate that aggression is always a consequence of frustration. They indicate manifestations of this sequence in almost every field of human behavior and interpret aggression as assuming many forms and as being affected by other psychological factors.

Factors determining substitute behavior and the overt expression of aggression
Four hypotheses bearing on factors determining substitute behavior and degree of overt aggression have been deduced from the general laws of frustration and of learning, and evidence gathered from a questionnaire designed to permit standardized recall of real-life situations has been presented to substantiate them. Several generalizations may be made: The frequency of substitute responses varies positively with the strength of anticipatory respon…
