Abstract
Article history: Received July 15, 2011 Received in Revised form August, 30, 2011 Accepted 30 August 2011 Available online 10 September 2011 Aggressive behavior has many bad effects on people's health care and lifestyle and any attempt to find the main issues influencing aggressive behavior among young students could help setup appropriate programs to control and possibly reduce aggressive attitudes. The proposed study of this paper performs an empirical study to find out the relationship between aggressive behavior and other important factors such as gender, age, etc. The survey uses a well-known questionnaire introduced by Buss and Perry (The aggression questionnaire, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 63, 452-459, 1992). The survey distributes 500 questionnaire consists of different questions based on Likert scale among 250 female and 250 male students. The questionnaire consists of various questions including anger, physical aggression, verbal aggression and hostility. The results indicate that while there is no meaningful difference between aggression attitudes of female and male students (with pvalue<0.001), the aggressive attitudes increases among older male students but this aggressive reduces among female students as they get older. © 2012 Growing Science Ltd.

He examined the effect of teacher preparation on responses to classroom aggression using a questionnaire, which was distributed among 121 teachers employed in 11 public schools across Southwest Virginia completed He measured teaching characteristics and responded to vignettes depicting student aggression and using multiple regression analyses for evaluating the process by which teachers could respond to classroom aggression, and the moderating influence of teacher training.
