ABSTRACT

Objective This study aimed to investigate the aggression level of primary school students, explore the differences in aggression among different groups of students, and analyze the influencing factors. Method A total of 1,281 primary school students from 12 schools in 5 provinces were surveyed using the Buss-Perry Aggression Scale. Results The results showed that the overall detection rate of aggression among primary school students was 49.80%, and the total average score was 2.51, indicating a moderately high level of aggression. There were significant differences in aggression among students of different genders, grades, and family types. Conclusions These findings suggest that aggression is prevalent among primary school students and should be taken seriously in mental health education.
