Aggressiveness of middle and high school students and their preferred styles of behavior in conflict situations, gender aspect

The paper presents the results of a study of the propensity of students of the state budgetary educational institution to manifestations of various forms of aggression and their preferred strategies of behavior in conflict situations. The study was conducted on the basis of one of the state budgetary institutions of Moscow and included data from 462 children aged 11 to 17 years. It is defined that in dynamics from middle to senior classes at girls the tendency to manifestation of indirect aggression, offense and verbal aggression increases, at boys the tendency to physical, indirect and verbal aggression and offense increases. The severity of these forms of aggression is at levels — above average. In high and middle school students, the strategy of rivalry is not the preferred choice of behavior in conflict, but rather compromise and avoidance in high school and adaptation and avoidance in middle school. Thus, conflict tensions in educational institutions are not associated with the level of aggressiveness of secondary and higher school students. It is obvious that there are other mechanisms that remain insufficiently studied.
