Exploitative Personality and Its Relationship with Aggressive Behavior among a Sample of First-Year Secondary School Students: A Field Study in Laghouat

Abstract

study aimed to investigate the level of exploitative personality and aggressive behavior, examine the nature of the relationship between them, and determine whether there are statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level in exploitative personality and aggressive behavior among the sample members according to the variables of gender and specialization. Two measurement tools were used: one for assessing exploitative personality and another for aggressive behavior. These tools were distributed to a random sample of 100 individuals from the study population, following the descriptive-correlational method suitable for the current study. After analyzing the data using SPSS, the results indicated that the level of exploitative personality among the sample members was high, while the level of aggressive behavior was low. No statistically significant differences were found in aggressive behavior according to gender, nor in exploitative personality according to gender. Finally, a statistically significant correlation was found between exploitative personality and aggressive behavior among the sample members. Based on these findings, the study concluded with a set of recommendations.
