Antiaggressive

/ˌæntiəˈɡresɪv/ adjective

Definition

Designed to prevent, reduce, or oppose aggressive behavior or attitudes.

Etymology

Combines 'anti-' with 'aggressive' (from Latin 'aggressivus'). The adjective form appeared in late 19th-century psychology and diplomatic contexts to describe policies or personality traits.

Kelly Says

Psychology uses this term to describe therapy approaches and personality traits—someone can be described as having an 'antiaggressive' temperament, meaning they naturally resist or oppose hostile impulses, which connects behavior to identity.
