AGGRESSIVENESS IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: Aggression has always been a subject of interest and a theme for research, considering the multiple causes underlying its manifestation and the effects it generates.The present study focuses on the study of the relationship between self-esteem and aggressive behaviors in high school students. The study also tracks the differences between students with a low level of aggression and those who are less aggressive in terms of perceived parenting style. To carry out the study, a number of 80 students from grades IX-XII of a high school unit in Olt county, aged between 15 and 19 years, were selected. To test the proposed hypotheses, three tools validated on the Romanian population were used: Aggressiveness Test (A. H. Buss & M. Perry), Self-Esteem Scale and Parental Modes Evaluation Test (EMBU)The results illustrate positive, statistically significant correlations between adolescent self-esteem and aggressive behaviors manifested through anger and hostility. Self-esteem correlates negatively, statistically significantly with students' verbal aggression.We also find important differences between high-aggressive and low-aggressive students in terms of perceived parenting style.
