Investigation of the Factors Causing Aggression among Secondary School Students

Abstract

Aggression is an undesirable behavior that assaults traditions norms, moral and standards of ethics practiced in society. Students' violent conduct is a serious problem for parents, teachers, and society at large. Young children frequently exhibit some degree of verbal and physical violence, but if it persists and becomes out of control, it may become a major issue. In addition to creating a difficult learning environment for teachers and other students, aggressive conduct can have a detrimental impact on children's development, academic performance, and social relationships. The study was conducted to find out factors causing aggression among students at secondary level. This study was delimited only for secondary level students of Chaklala &, Rawalpindi region in these schools. The main objectives of the study were to find out the causes of aggression by the secondary level students. The research design of the study was descriptive. SPSS was used for data analysis. Descriptive, and independent sample t test was used to test the objectives of the study. The results of our study on the disparities in aggressiveness between rural and urban areas indicate that pupils in rural areas are more aggressive, especially when it comes to physical violence. Findings of this study showed that students' levels of aggressiveness are greatly influenced by their gender, age, and whether they live in an urban or rural area. Compared to girls, males often display higher levels of physical violence.Teachers can benefit from this study by receiving specific professional development training on how to deal with and counsel aggressive students. Teachers can advise, educate, and guide parents about the advantages of allowing students to choose their own subjects. Parents can play a significant role in reducing aggressive behavior in students.
