Aggression and Its Associated Factors among the Teenagers of Selected Schools in Kathmandu

Abstract

The study conducted among Kathmandu teenagers aimed to understand adolescent aggression and its associated risk factors. Using the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire, data from 97 participants were analyzed using SPSS. While no significant associations were found, trends suggested higher aggression among males, class 9-10 students, Hindus, those in nuclear families, individuals with one sibling, moderate family incomes, regular social media users, and online gamers. This highlights the prevalence of moderate aggression among Kathmandu teenagers, emphasizing the need for further research and awareness campaigns on responsible social media and online gaming habits to address this issue.
