Description
Summary:The purpose of the present study is to assess the role of automatic thoughts on adolescents aggression. The study also assesses whether there are significant difference in gender with respect to aggression. A sample of 100 young adults (50 males, 50 females) aged between 15-22 years participated in the study. The Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) by Drs. Arnold Buss and Robert Perry and the Automatic Thought Questionnaire 30 (ATQ 30) by Steven D. Hollon and Phillip C. Kendall were used to measure the variables in the study. The data were statistically analyzed using the independent sample t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. According to the results, aggression and automatic thinking are significantly positively correlated. Aggression in males and females does not significantly differ based on gender.
