Peer Group Influence And Parenting Styles As Correlates Of Aggressive Behaviour Among Secondary School Students In Umuahia Education Zone Of Abia State, Nigeria.
ABSTRACT
Aggressive behaviour has been defined
by some educational psychologists in various ways. Wood, Wood and Boyd (2014),
defined it as the intentional infliction of physical or psychological harm on
others. From this definition, it is obvious that for an act to be classified as
an aggressive behaviour, the infliction of physical or psychological harm on
others has to be intentional. Hence, unintended and accidental infliction of
harm on others may not be rightly classified as aggressive behaviour (Ifeagwzi,
2010). Aggressive behaviour among
secondary school students takes various forms. It can be physical or verbal.
Physical aggression refers to inflicting injury on others, while verbal
aggression entails using words that are intended to harm another person.
Aggressive behaviour among secondary school students sometimes take the form of
over reaction, screaming, shouting or becoming very agitated as a result of a
very minor setback (Eziyi & Odoemelam, 2008). It also takes the form of
quarrelling, insubordination, bullying, revolution, destruction of school
property, protest, angry shouts of rebellion and so on.
