Abstract EN

This study aimed at exploring the effect of students' sex, developmental stage, living place and other demographic variables on the motives of aggressive behavior among a sample of adolescent students in Irbid governorate.

The study sample which consisted of 304 males and females with ages between 12 and 18 years completed a scale developed to measure the motives of aggressive behavior.

Results showed that aggression motivated by frustration was more common than aggression to fluffy personal objectives and goals.

It was also shown, that the mean of males on the scale of aggression to fluffy personal objectives and goals, was greater than the mean of females, and that the mean of the students in the late adolescence stage at the same scale was greater than the students in the early adolescence stage.

Finally, multiple regression results showed that variables of family number, child rank, and achievement were predictors of students' score on the scale of aggression motivated by frustration; while child rank was the only predictor of students' score on the scale of aggression to fluffy personal objectives and goals.

According to these results the researchers made many conclusions and recommendations.
