Aggressive Behavior and its Relationship with Some Social Variables: A Field Study on a Sample of Middle School Students in the City of Al-Beida

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the influencing factors that lead to aggressive behavior among students in the second part of basic education, in light of a set of variables and the negative results that affect the lives of students at this stage. The researcher adopted the descriptive analytical approach in this study to analyze and describe the phenomenon. At the end of the study, a set of results were reached, which were interpreted in light of the theoretical framework of the study and previous studies. It was found that most of the surveyed students were in the age group from 10 years to less than 15 years, which confirms the increase in aggressive behavior among students at this age stage. Most of the surveyed students belonged to large families, where parental attention to children is low. The study also showed that most of the surveyed students confirmed that teachers punish them by beating them in case of error, which confirms the impact of school on aggressive behavior among students. Most of the surveyed students also prefer to watch power and wrestling movies, which confirms the impact of media on aggressive behavior among students who participated in the study. In conclusion, a set of recommendations were reached that we hope will benefit those concerned.
