Abstract

The main aim of human aggression is to cause injury to other person and the aggressor must believe that his/her behaviour will cause injury to other and the victim is encouraged to avoid the behaviour (Bushman & Anderson 2001, Baron & Richardson 1994, Berkowitz 1993, Green 2001). Emotional intelligence on the other hand is the ability of a person to perceive accurately, appraise, and express emotion; the ability to access and/or generate feelings when they facilitate thought; the ability to understand emotion and emotional knowledge; and the ability to regulate emotions to promote emotional and intellectual growth” (Mayer & Salovey, 1997, p. 10). The present paper examines the relationship between aggression and emotional intelligence among the adolescent boys of Kashmir. The sample consists of 100 adolescent boys (n= 100). Aggression questionnaire by Buss, A.H & Perry (Buss & Perry, 1992) and The Trait Meta-Mood Scale (Fernández-Berrocal et al., 2004) was used for data collection. The results revealed significant negative correlation between dimensions of aggression and emotional intelligence. Physical aggression was found significantly negatively correlated with Emotional clarity (r =.381p<0.05). Verbal aggression was found significantly negatively correlated with emotional clarity (r =-.302p<0.05). Anger was found significantly negatively correlated with emotional attention (r =-.254p<0.05). The overall results revealed significant negative correlation between aggression and emotional intelligence.
