The study explored it in two samples of similar age: young offenders and university students. A close relationship between aggression and pleasure was found in both populations. But, whereas in the case of university students, this congruence leads to a normal or adjusted behavior, in the case of young offenders, however, a mismatched evaluation of conflict and provocation leads them to make unacceptable violence decisions.spaAggression, Pleasure, and Cognitive Dissonancejournal articlehttp://benthamopen.com/topsyj/open access159.942AggressionCognitive dissonanceDecision-makingPleasureStructural equation modelingEmoción y agresividad6106.03 Emoción
