G Edmunds

    Journal of Personality Assessment
    |February 1, 1977

    Summary

    Aggression in university students varied by personality traits and sex. Different aggression types correlated differently with personality, and male and female students showed distinct patterns, with socioeconomic status unrelated to aggression.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Psychology
    • Personality Psychology

    Background:

    • Understanding the relationship between personality traits and aggression is crucial in psychology.
    • Previous research suggests potential sex differences in aggression, but correlates require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationship between personality traits (extraversion, neuroticism, aggression) and different forms of aggression in university students.
    • To investigate potential sex differences in these relationships and explore the influence of socioeconomic class.

    Main Methods:

    • Administered tests measuring extraversion, neuroticism, and various forms of aggression to 62 male and 57 female university students.
    • Analyzed correlation matrices to identify personality correlates of aggression and compared male and female samples.
    • Assessed the relationship between socioeconomic class and aggression scales.

    Main Results:

    • Different forms of aggression exhibited distinct personality correlates.
    • Correlation matrices for male and female samples were largely dissimilar, indicating sex-specific patterns.
    • Sex differences in aggression subtest scores varied depending on the specific type of aggression measured.
    • Socioeconomic class showed no significant relationship with any of the aggression scales.

    Conclusions:

    • Personality traits are differentially related to various forms of aggression.
    • Significant sex differences exist in the personality correlates of aggression, varying by aggression type.
    • Socioeconomic status does not appear to be a significant factor in the aggression of this student sample.
