Abstract

Education plays an important role in development of human and the relative society. It develops an equilibrised personality of worth. Including the other aspects of personality, it also focuses on the aggressive behaviour. Aggressive behaviour refers to such verbal, nonverbal and physical behaviour that injures another person indirectly or directly and results in extraneous gains for the aggressor. The school environment is also an important aspect of education or specifically formal education. The secondary school stage is the most crucial stage of formal education. The present study concentrates on finding the aggressive behavior among secondary school students in relation to the school environment. A sample of 300 secondary school students was selected randomly from District Ferozepur. The results revealed that Secondary School Students shows Average Aggression. No significant difference was found in aggression of secondary school students in relation to gender and residential area. Students of Private Secondary School students have significantly more aggressive behaviour than that of Government secondary school students. More favourable school environment results in low aggressive behaviour. A significant negative relationship has been found between Aggression of secondary School Students and School Environment which again validates that higher levels of school environment results in low aggressive behavior.
