Aggression among Students with and without Part-time Job

Abstract

The present paper aimed at probing aggression among university students with part time job while comparing them with students without part time job. It was assumed that students with part time job would significantly report more aggression, physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger and hostility than students without part time job. Sample comprised of two hundred (n = 160) University students including one hundred (n =80) with part time job and one hundred (n = 80) without part time job. Through, convenient sampling technique, participants were selected from different departments of Public and Private sector Universities of Faisalabad city. With their written consent for being the volunteer participants of the present study, data was collected administering Demographic Information Form and Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992). Statistical analysis of raw data (independent t- test) depicted university students with part time job reporting more aggression and physical aggression than students without part time job. Nevertheless, verbal aggression, anger and hostility were more or less equally observed in both groups. The present findings infer that academic tasks along with job responsibilities are detrimental for their health.
