Abstract
This study attempts to see the relationship between aggression and general health problems among undergraduate university students. The findings reveal that aggression and general health problems have direct relationship (r= .17, p<0.05). In addition general health is positively correlated with covert aggression (r=.24, p<0.01).Covert and overt aggression was measured through Buss Perry Aggression questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992) which measures physical and verbal aggression (overt aggression), anger and hostility (covert aggression). Reliability of Buss Perry Questionnaire is .81.General health problems were measured by the general health questionnaire-30 (Goldberg, 1978). Hence it is concluded that the students having more aggression have high risk of developing general health problems. Moreover students having covert aggression have more tendencies to develop general health problems as compared to students having overt aggression.
