Identification of a tendency towards aggression in students

Przhanova Balausa Aidarkhanovna

Teacher - psychologist -

"Secondary school named after M. Gabdullin"

Almaty region, Abay village

Aggression is a psychological strategy based on instinctive awakenings. The instinct of aggression is one of the big four instincts common to all animals: hunger, fear and attack (which is provoked by aggression). The more a person perceives a situation as threatening him, the more prone he is to aggressive manifestations.

Aggression is quite compatible with a high level of intelligence, but in most cases it indicates a person’s lack of self-confidence. He perceives the actions of others, often without a real reason, as a threat to his own “I”, his well-being. And then he acts based on the principle “ The best way defense is attack."

This test will make it possible to clarify to what extent adolescents are prone to aggression and in what specific forms it manifests itself in their behavior.

Answer form

One point is awarded for each answer that matches what is given in the answer form (where there is a “-” sign in front of the question number, a point is awarded for a negative answer, where there is no sign - for a positive answer). The points are summed up separately in each line (0-2 points - low level, 3 - average, 4-5 - high). They indicate the following characteristics:

Line 1. Physical aggression – the tendency to express one's dissatisfaction by physically influencing something that causes it: for example, getting into a fight or kicking an object that one has tripped over.

Line 2. Indirect aggression – a tendency to express dissatisfaction by physically influencing those people or those objects that have nothing to do with him, but simply come to hand: for example, he got angry with the teacher and kicked the dog.

Line 3. Irritability – the habit of becoming irritated even for minor reasons, emotional instability. Such a teenager resembles a keg of gunpowder: the slightest spark is enough for him to “flare up.”

Line 4 Negativism – a tendency to resist any external influence, even if it is in the person’s own interests. For example, such a teenager may not care what exactly to wear when going for a walk, but the clothes must certainly not be the ones suggested by the parents.

Line 5. Touchiness. Resentment is a negative emotion that occurs when someone's behavior does not meet the person's expectations. Touchy teenagers believe that everything around them should be the way they want, and experience indignation and emotional discomfort if this turns out not to be the case.

Line 6. Suspicion. Such people tend to attribute to others, often without reason, bad intentions towards themselves. Sometimes it seems to them that the whole world has turned against them, and everyone around them is only thinking about how to harm them.

Line 7. Verbal aggression - the tendency to express dissatisfaction through speech, for example, by yelling at someone or saying something offensive to them.

Line 8. Guilt - a tendency to worry painfully about one’s real or imaginary mistakes and past failures. In fact, such experiences are also aggression, but directed - this is also aggression, but not aimed at the world, but on yourself.

Aggressiveness - emotional condition, which is expressed in dissatisfaction, anger and manifests itself at any age. It is possible to identify the degree of aggressiveness in adolescents aged 14 years and older using the aggressiveness test using the BassaDarki method. The technique consists of 75 questions - situations to which it is necessary to give truthful answers. After conducting a test survey, the data obtained is checked against the answer key to the question and the degree of aggressiveness is determined. Diagnostics makes it possible to identify the degree of aggression, study its cause and subsequently prevent the occurrence of increased aggressiveness. This method of studying aggression is very important in adolescence, because it is during this period that the mental state of adolescents changes.
