Agresi relasional

Agresi relasional atau agresi alternatif^[1] adalah sebuah jenis dari agresi dimana pencederaan disebabkan oleh kerusakan hubungan seseorang atau status sosial.^[2][3] Meskipun ini dapat dipakai dalam beberapa konteks dan kelompok usia berbeda, agresi relasional di kalangan remaja adalah yang paling umum dan meraih perhatian.

Agresi relasional telah memperoleh perhatian khalayak luas berkat bantuan media populer, yang meliputi film-film seperti Mean Girls dan buku-buku seperti Odd Girl Out karya R. Simmons (2003), Nesthäkchen and the World War karya Else Ury (1916), dan Queen Bees and Wannabes karya R. Wiseman (2003). Agresi relasional dapat memiliki dampak seumur hidup. Agresi relasional biasanya diamati dan dikaji di kalangan perempuan, setelah diadakannya penelitian yang dipelopori oleh psikolog Nicki R. Crick.^[3]
