Abstract
Aggression in high school student has always been a sense of concern and it has always questioned the student’s mental well-being. As high school is a period of immense changes and there is a need to cope with all the changes resulting in the student to face immense pressure, frustration and resulting into aggression. The aggression levels in the student have a proportional relation to their mental well-being. If a student possesses high aggressive behaviour, there is a tendency that the student has a low mental well-being which can hamper with his/her daily activities and many other relationships. The present study aims at understanding the effect of aggression on the mental well-being of high school students both gender-wise as well as class-wise. The study was carried on 132 students from schools of Delhi-NCR consisting of 66 males and 66 females of both classes 9 and 10. The data was collected using standardised questionnaires, namely, Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire and Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale. The data was sampled using snowball sampling. The results were analysed using Pearson’s Correlation and independent sample t-test carried out using SPSS v26.00. The results indicated that there was a relationship between aggression and mental well-being in high school students. On these lines, we did find that there will be an association between levels of aggression and the student’s mental well-being. Another major finding was that irrespective of gender differences (male and female), there was no difference between the aggression level on the mental well-being of the students and similarly the class division (class 9 and class 10) had no difference in the levels of aggression that effected the student’s mental well-being.
