Relationship between Aggression and Interpersonal Communication

The research investigated the relationship among Aggression and Interpersonal Communication in young adults. Aggression is any form of behavior directed toward the goal of harming or injuring another living being who is motivated to avoid such treatment. Baron & Byrne (2010). Communication is a process of exchange of information between two or more than two individuals. Since Interpersonal Communication plays a significant role in our lives, the way it is carried on may have its effect on the way we behave. This may be linked with our level of aggression experiences and displayed as our understanding of a situation and our consequent behaviour is linked with what is communicated and understood by us and how. With this rationale, the study was planned for young adults. Participants in the study were 100 young adults aged 18-21 years drawn from a private university from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The results obtained pointed a significant negative correlation between the dimensions of interpersonal communication and aggression.
