Self-Esteem in Students Who Engage in Aggressive Behavior

Abstract

The phenomenon of Self-Esteem or self-esteem is an important psychological aspect for individuals, including students. Healthy Self-Ssteem can contribute positively to a person's mental and academic health. However, in students who show aggressive behavior, Self-Esteem is often a complex issue and requires special attention. This study aims to investigate the relationship between Self-Esteem and aggressive behavior in students. The observed phenomenon is the existence of a low level of Self-Esteem which contributes to aggressive behavior among students. The problem faced is the need to understand and manage Self-Esteem to reduce the level of detrimental aggressive behavior. The analysis methods used include discrimination power and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Of the 15 items compiled, 6 items were found to be irrelevant and excluded from the analysis, while the remaining 9 items showed a significant correlation with the observed phenomenon. The results highlight the importance of Self-Esteem management in overcoming aggressive behavior among students.
