摘要: 攻击作为具有适应性价值的行为在人类身上保存了下来，狩猎的本能在生存进化过程中保留下来的欲求攻击目前研究仍较少。本文将概述欲求攻击的相关概念，阐明欲求攻击的特征，并对欲求攻击的进化学意义和神经病理学进行讨论。欲求攻击在神经生物学上和反应性攻击有所区别，然而欲求攻击也不等同于主动性攻击。因此，在攻击的分类学上可能并不适用于欲求攻击，在未来的研究中可以从奖赏的角度出发，进一步探索人类攻击行为中的奖赏问题。这对于干预精神疾病中由于奖赏机制的问题而导致的暴力攻击具有重要意义。
Abstract: Aggression has been preserved in humans as a behavior with adaptive value, and hunting instincts have been maintained during the evolution of survival appetitive aggression which is still less studied. In this paper, we will outline the concepts related to appetitive aggression, elucidate the characteristics of appetitive aggression, and discuss the evolutionary implications and neuropathology of appetitive aggression. Appetitive aggression is neurobiologically distinct from reactive aggression, yet appetitive aggression is also not equivalent to proactive aggression. Therefore, the taxonomy of aggression may not apply to appetitive aggression, and the issue of reward in human aggressive behavior can be further explored from a reward perspective in future research. This is important for intervening in violent aggression due to problems with reward mechanisms in psychiatric disorders.
