Summary/Abstract: The report presents results of a survey with adolescents aged 15 and 16 from Simitli and Blagoevgrad. The aim of the study is to find a link between the self-assessment elements of the personality behavioral style and the forms of aggression. Used, adapted for Bulgarian conditions, psychological questionnaires to diagnose the aggressiveness of A. Buss and A. Darkee, and T. Leary‘s interpersonal self assessment. A statistically significant relationship between physical, verbal aggression and aggressive irritability and authoritarian, selfish and aggressive interpersonal relationships has been demonstrated. Differences are also established by gender - boys are characterized by body and indirect aggression, while girls with aggressive distrust and guilt after aggression. The data obtained enable the psychological profile of the aggressive person to be enriched during adolescence in order to prevent deviance in behavior.
