Abstract
Aggressive behavior in adolescence is influenced by a diversity of individual, family, and social variables. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between family functioning, emotional intelligence, and personal values for development with different types of aggression, as well as to establish profiles with these variables according to the aggression. The study was carried out with a sample of 317 high school students aged 13 to 18 years old. The study showed that stress management (emotional intelligence), positive adolescent development, and family functioning predominated in nonaggressive subjects with higher scores than aggressors did. There was also a negative relationship between the different types of aggression and emotional intelligence, positive values, and family functioning. In addition, two different profiles were found. The first profile had less family functioning, interpersonal emotional intelligence, stress management, and fewer personal and social values than the second profile.

Summary
Violent behavior among secondary students has been identified as a serious problem in education today [1], with a corresponding increase in the number of studies on this topic in the literature [2,3]. Recent studies in several countries have shown that the prevalence of such adolescent behavior has increased [4,5], and poses a risk both for students who do not show this kind of behavior and educational activities in the school [6]. Both physical and verbal aggressive behavior patterns may be found in the school, and these may be direct or indirect. Direct verbal aggression refers to the insults between the actors involved in such situations, while talking about someone behind their back is considered indirect verbal aggression [9]
