This article is dedicated to the study of the relationship between aggression and selfesteem in students. A.Bass and A.Darki’s method of indicators and diagnosis of aggression (adapted by A.K.Osnitsky) and Rosenberg’s method of self-esteem were used in the research. The research was conducted on 135 undergraduate students. It was determined that there was a negative relationship between self-esteem level and aggression. It can be concluded that as the level of self-esteem increases, the probability of decreasing the level of aggression increases. Low self-esteem is often associated with aggression because people with low self-esteem may feel threatened, which may cause them to respond with aggressive behavior. It was also found that the likelihood of a decrease in the level of selfesteem increased as a result of an increase in negative emotional traits such as irritability, guilt and resentment. Based on the results of the study, we can conclude that the proper development of selfesteem can be an important tool in reducing students’ aggression levels and improving their overall psychological state.
