Study of the Relationship between Gender and Aggression among Ivorian Secondary School StudentsStudy of the Relationship between Gender and Aggression among Ivorian Secondary School Students

This study examines the relationship between gender and aggression among Ivorian secondary school students. A cross-sectional study included a sample of 133 participants (79 girls and 54 boys, aged 12 to 18). Participants were divided into two groups based on gender (female and male). The Aggression Questionnaire-Short Form (AQ-SF) was used to determine their level of aggression. Participants completed a gender identification form to collect sociodemographic data. An interview guide was used to gather additional information to further explore the relationship between gender and aggression. The results indicate that boys tend to be more aggressive than girls. This study offers added value in strengthening the impact of behavioral and psychosocial theories on the development of girls and boys.
