Abstract :

An attempt has been made to compare the gender differences in aggressive behaviour of Adolescents by using a sample of Two hundredteenagers consisted of 100 boys and 100 girls, age ranging from 16 to 19 years. Dr. G.C. Pati’s Aggressiontest was used for data collection. The causes of aggression as perceived by teenagers were measured by asking few questions related to it. It was found that boys and girls differ significantly on aggression scale. Results show that the boys were more aggressive than girls as showing mean value of aggressive behavior 11.96 and 6.26 respectively. The data suggests that very small number of adolescent girls expressed their anger or aggressive behavior freely as compared to boys who have larger number to express freely their aggression. Another interesting finding revealed that girls feel guilty after expressing their anger where boys don’t feel guilty. As for as causes of aggression is concerned, no significant difference have been found between boys and girls on the factors related to its causes.
