Introduction:
Sprague, et al (2011) proposed that in addition to frustration-aggression model that was
proposed by Dollard et al (1939), that among low-income male adolescents, feelings of hostility,
social support, and perceived stress may also be related to aggressive behavior. To test this
hypothesis, a random sample of (N = ) 100 adolescent males attending Hillcrest High School in
Queens (NY) were recruited to participate in the study. To assess their levels of frustration,
stress, hostility, and Social Support each student completed the Frustration Discomfort Scale, the
Perceived Stress Scale, the Hostility Inventory, and the Online Social Support Scale. It was noted
that the number of documented classroom aggressive behaviors occurred during the week
following completion of the questionnaires, was provided by the high school’s Dean of Student’s
Office. The research question of this study was the research hypothesis that Frustration, Stress,
and Hostility are significant predictors of aggression.
The null hypotheses (H0) for the present study are:
(H01): The null hypothesis is Perceived Stress do not influence aggressive on behavior in
adolescent males.
(H02): The feeling of hostility do not have a influence on aggressive behavior adolescent in
males.
, (H03) The feeling of frustration do not have an influence aggressive behavior adolescent in
males.
(Ha4): Social support do not have an influence on aggrieve behavior in
adolescent males.
The alternative null hypotheses (H0) for the present study are:
(Ha1). The null hypothesis is Perceived Stress have a significance influence on aggressive
behavior in adolescent males.
(Ha2) : The feeling of hostility have a significance influence on aggressive behavior in
adolescent males.
