Abstract

The adolescent years have been described as a “unique developmental period wherein relationships become increasingly important and intimate.”¹ This being said, many relationships can become tainted or ruined when injured with aggression. Studies have shown that many adolescents are involved in physical and/or relational aggression.² One study by Crick and Grotpeter found that children that are aggressive are at risk for serious adjustment difficulties, including being significantly more rejected, higher levels of loneliness, depression, and isolation.³ This study was performed to evaluate what different methods of aggression were more common in Turkish 7^th graders.
