Aggression and anxiety in adolescent boys and girls

the article is devoted to the study of the level of aggression and anxiety in adolescent boys and girls. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of the concepts of "aggression" and "anxiety" in psychological literature and the identification of the level of aggression and anxiety in adolescent boys and girls, as well as the identification of the relationship between aggression and anxiety in adolescents. To identify the level of aggressiveness and anxiety, the following diagnostic tools were used in the study: the Aggressiveness Test (L.G. Pochebut questionnaire), the Aggressiveness Level Test (A. Bass and A. Darki questionnaire), and the Spielberger-Khanin Anxiety Level Test. Additionally, we conducted a Spearman rank correlation analysis to determine the statistical relationship between the aggressiveness and anxiety of adolescents. The results of the Aggression Test (L.G. Pochebut questionnaire) showed that most boys and girls have an average level of aggression. The results of the Aggression Level Test (A. Bass and A. Darki questionnaire) showed that boys are more likely to be aggressive than girls. The results of the Spielberger-Khanin anxiety test helped to establish the presence of moderate and severe anxiety and several types of anxiety in the group of boys and girls. Based on the data obtained, we can conclude that girls are more prone to anxiety compared to boys. The Spearman correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between the variables "aggressiveness" and "anxiety."
