Abstract

SIQUEIRA, Juliana Munique de Souza  and  VENDRAMINI, Claudette Maria Medeiros. Aggressiveness and intelligence in adolescence. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.2, pp. 215-232. ISSN 2236-6407.

This study aimed to analyse the aggressiveness and intelligence in adolescence, and to verify if exists association through these variables. The aggressiveness is inherent in human nature and collaborates in the construction of personality by influencing the behaviors positively or negatively. Intelligence refers to the cognitive skill that every individual has and contributes to the establishment of social relations. As a teenager the aggressiveness and the intelligence become more evident due to change in this phase of development. The sample of 35 adolescents of both sexes participated in this survey. The instruments used were the batch of reasoning tests - BPR-5 and the Aggressiveness scale for children and young people. The results indicated that there is no relationship between aggression and intelligence. However, based on the literature these variables interrelate. Therefore, it is suggested that this research be expanded with the use of other psychological instruments.

Keywords : adolescence; cognitive development; social interaction.
