Relational aggression and personality traits in university students
(UMT.Lahore, 2016) Tehsina Haider
The present study aimed to investigate the relational aggression and personality traits among university students. Cross-sectional design was used and data was collected through convenient sampling technique. The sample was comprised of 519 students from eight universities of Lahore. Two were government universities (GCU & PU) and six private universities (UMT, UCP, UOL, LUMS, FASTS & COMSATS). Self-Report of Aggression and Social Behavior Measure, SRASBM-56 items (Morales & Crick, 1998) and Big Five Inventory, BFI-44 item (Goldberg, 1993) along with few demographic questions was administered to the sample. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Independent sample t-test. The results indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between relational aggression and age (r= .110*). It was found that there is no significant relationship between relational aggression and neuroticism. Moreover, Findings reveal the significant difference between males and females (p<.004) as men (M= 52.28, SD= 13.83) are more involved in relational aggression as compared to women (M= 48.51, SD= 15.53). Limitations and implications were also mentioned in the study. Future suggestions were also given to modify the current study with more generalized sample from the various other universities for more generalized findings.
