Students are sometimes subjected to difficult circumstances to achieve success. Studying under these circumstances could cultivate aggression towards self and others, and the environment. Little, if any, published research is available dealing with students being orientated autonomous versus being submissive and perceptions of aggression.
To explore and describe the perceptions of groups of students being orientated autonomous versus students being submissive and perceptions of aggression. Recommendations concerning these two groups of students are made.
An exploratory quantitative research design that is descriptive and inferential in nature was applied. A questionnaire was electronically distributed to students in a faculty. The questionnaire consisted of items on biographic, personality and aggression. In the statistical analysis Cronbach's alphas, principal component analysis were done and hypotheses were tested on differences between students orientated autonomous and those being submissive.
Of the 266 completed questionnaires used, 177 were received from females and 89 from males. Eighty-two (82) of these were honours, masters or doctoral students. Findings reflected graded differences between students being autonomous and students being submissive orientated concerning Overt verbal aggression (means below 1.82), Overt physical aggression (means below 2.53) and aggressive inclination towards others (means below 3.01). The implications are that students are to be sensitised to be reflective of their levels of aggression. University management should help students to be reflective concerning their aggression, and to establish congruency between self-perception and reality.
Students should be helped to understand and manage their aggressive inclination.
学生有时需要面对艰难处境才能取得成功。在这些情况下学习可能会培养对自己、他人和环境的攻击性。关于学生自主取向与顺从取向以及攻击性认知的已发表研究很少，如果有的话。
探讨和描述自主取向学生群体与顺从学生群体的认知以及攻击性认知。针对这两组学生提出建议。
采用本质上具有描述性和推断性的探索性定量研究设计。通过电子方式向一个学院的学生发放问卷。问卷包括有关传记、性格和攻击性的项目。在统计分析中，进行了克朗巴哈系数分析、主成分分析，并对自主取向学生和顺从学生之间的差异进行了假设检验。
在使用的266份完整问卷中，177份来自女性，89份来自男性。其中82份是荣誉学士、硕士或博士生的问卷。研究结果反映出自主取向学生和顺从取向学生在公开言语攻击（均值低于1.82）、公开身体攻击（均值低于2.53）以及对他人的攻击倾向（均值低于3.01）方面存在分级差异。这意味着要让学生意识到自己的攻击水平。大学管理层应帮助学生反思自己的攻击性，并使自我认知与现实相符。
应帮助学生理解和管理他们的攻击倾向。
