Reactive aggression among middle school students
Abstract
The current research aims to verify the nature and level of (reactive aggression) among middle school students. Reactive aggression is the desire to harm someone and is described as "hot", influential, angry and impulsive behavior. It refers to angry and emotionally disorganized responses in most cases to insults or frustrations. The researchers believe that this variable is one of the important topics in the lives of middle school students that require investigation and scientific research. Reactive aggression refers to the desire to harm someone and is described as "hot", influential, angry and impulsive behavior. The researchers believe that studying this variable is one of the important topics in the lives of middle school students that requires investigation and scientific research. Based on what was mentioned, the problem of the current research is summarized in answering the following question: Is there reactive aggression among middle school students? The current research also aims to identify:
- Reactive aggression among middle school students. • Significance of the difference in the interactive aggression scale according to the gender variables (males, females)
To achieve these goals, the researchers relied on the descriptive approach as the most appropriate method for the current research. The researchers selected a sample of middle school students consisting of (355) male and female students distributed among government schools in the center of Diwaniyah Governorate using a stratified random method, then applied the interactive aggression scale that was built according to the Dodge and colleagues 1994 model and was in the final form of (12) paragraphs, and after conducting and applying the appropriate statistical methods, the indicators of the validity of the structure were verified through apparent validity, while its stability was inferred by retesting and Cronbach's alpha, as the value of the stability coefficient for the interactive aggression scale by retesting method reached (0.71) and by Cronbach's alpha method (0.73). After analyzing the data collected from a sample of middle school students using the (SPSS) program, the researchers obtained some results:
1- Middle school students are characterized by interactive aggression.
2- There are no statistically significant differences according to gender (males, females) in the interactive aggression scale.
At the end of the research, the researchers came up with a set of recommendations and suggestions
