AGGRESSION AMONG SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN RELATION TO THEIR RESIDENTIAL BACKGROUND

The consequences of hostility and aggressiveness continue to be a burden on not only the perpetrators and victims but also on the development of human societies at large. Administrators, teachers, and parents seek points of intervention for aggressive behaviour with the goal of making schools more stable places of peace. Understanding the causes of hostility and aggressiveness and controlling it are therefore important concerns in the social science research agenda. Among the causal 1actors responsible for aggression, various models acknowledge the contribution of individual characteristics, the family, the community, and situational factors to the expression of aggressive behaviour. If we evaluate the present education being imparted to our students, we find that it is defective in evaluating the values of life, and in the absence of the permanent values of life, the student generally behaves in a disciplined way. The indiscipline among students especially in the schools is due to aggression. For this study requisite data was collected randomly from the senior secondary school students on the day of data collection. The sample of the present investigation was included only adolescents studying in senior secondary schools of two districts (Mandi and Kullu) of Himachal Pradesh. To study residential background-wise difference among senior secondary school students.
