RESULT:

Table 1. Distribution characteristics and aggressive behavior of teenagers

 

Based on table 1, most teens are teens as much as 91.7% associate. As many as 86% of the remja come from low socioeconomic. Whereas the majority of teen-sex male that is as much as 86%.Aggressive behaviour of teenagers more than half in the high keategori that is 55.8%.

 

DISCUSSION:

The results showed that adolescents experience a high aggressive behaviour amounted to 55.8% and low aggressive behaviour of 44.2%. These results illustrate that more than half of teens experiencing high aggressive behaviour in Padang city. The results of this study are in line with research (10) about the analysis of family factors associated with aggressive behaviours in teenagers in the city of Malang, there is aggressive behaviour in teens as much as 75% by category above average. The results of this research are also consistent with the research of (11) that as much as 54.6% teens doing aggressive behaviour with a high category.

 

The results showed there is still some teenagers who have aggressive behaviour. Aggressive behaviour is behaviour intended to threaten or hurt the feelings of the victim or self-esteem. This is a response that aims to cause pain or injuries by objects or people. The deed in the form of words, punch, or a weapon (1).

 

Aggressive action to occur due to a combination of intense frustration with the stimulus (impulses) from the outside as a trigger, when normally a reflex response in the face of threats from the outside in the form of aggressive thoughts and feelings then aggressive actions will appear(3). Most teenagers showing aggressive behaviour and frustrating experience of having role models that do aggressive actions during his childhood (12).

 

Aggressive behaviour in teens is also caused by damage to the three parts of the brain that is the center of the emotional limbic system, namely the frontal lobe, and hypothalamus, as well as neuro transmitter. Part of the limbic system especially in the amygdala, thus causing excessive berespon causes increase or decrease in the potential for aggressive behavior. So on the frontal lobe may cause explosion of aggressive behavior. The existence of a recurring on the hypotalamusrasangan resulted in this system work harder against other originator, thus causing aggressive behavior. Neorotransmiter levels of serotonin in particular resulted in quick tempered behavior and irritability, hipersensifitas against propokasi, and the angry and pissed (12).

 

Aggressive actions also occur due to a combination of intense frustration with the stimulus (impulses) from the outside as a trigger(3). As for the number of ways to address aggressive behaviour with self awareness, exercise asertif exercise, verbal communication and non-verbal, environmental change, and exile(12). According to research results(13) there are significant effects of asertif exercise against a decrease in aggressive behaviour in teens (12).

 

Aggressive behaviour in teens has always been a problem and it is not addressed properly so it has the dangerous impact. Physical impacts in natural by teenage perpetrators of aggressive will experience physical injury or even death (12). According to the results of the research impact of psychological symptoms of aggressive behaviour can develop into positive symptoms skizotypal (8). The social impact of the aggressive behaviour is bekurangnya an appreciation for tolerance, peace and the values of life (7). Analysis of the questionnaires as much as 65% if I'm in, I'll hit hasut others, 68.9% there are people who are very able to influence me to do aggressive behaviour, 75.2% I openly/blatant when I disagree with them.

 

Based on the analysis of the questionnaire can be seen that more than half of teenagers doing the physical and verbal aggression caused by a large majority (86%) of the respondents-sex male. According to the results of the research shows men are more dominant expression, responded aggressively and started aggressive behaviour and show aggressive behaviour in the form of physical or verbal whereas women are more to the emotional expressions (Kim et al 2011). Many teens who do physical and verbal aggression was the most aggressive behaviour items. Physical aggression i.e. using a hard body parts or weapons that lead to physical injuries on the victim. While the verbal aggression in the form of threats and injuries that resulted in rejection or psychic on victims (5).

 

Based on the analysis, physical and verbal aggression perpetrated by adolescent boys, because the majority of the neighbourhood is a teenage boy. Stressor response or frustrated teen will be expressed in the form of physical aggression and verbal aggression, unlike with the opposite gender i.e. women are more in the form of anger and hostility. When aggressive behaviour is very dangerous for adolescents who have it because according to (Zahra, 2011;Fagel et al., 2014) aggressive behaviour can cause physical injuries or even fatalities, positive symptoms skizotypal, dwindling respect for tolerance, peace and the values of life. In addition to this aggressive behaviour also has disadvantages. As perpetrators of aggressive growing older and at the time of entering adolescence becomes a greater risk for anxiety, depression, and suicidal behaviour, while as a victim of aggressive behaviour are at risk of experiencing a traumatic psychological and emotional reactions as well as psychiatric disorders, such as panic attacks, phobias, and depression (9).

 

The results showed that most respondents (91.7%) are in the age range of Vice and teens most (86%) of the respondents-sex male. The results of this study are in line with research (15) that States the average age of the respondents i.e. 16.9 years contains the categories of associate and teen male respondents got higher grades significantly on dimensions different from aggression (i.e. physical, verbal, anger and hostility) i.e. r =-0.56 compared to female respondents i.e. r =-0.34. The results of these studies are also consistent with research conducted by (11) that more than half of aggressive behaviour committed by teenage boys. The results of research conducted by (16) also said that the boys are older reported doing more aggressive behaviour. Same is the case with research conducted by (17) stated that as much as 55% gender male doing aggressive behaviour.

 

Male dominant, expression more shows to respond aggressively and started aggressive behaviour and show aggressive behaviour in the form of physical or verbal whereas women are more to the emotional expressions (Kim et al, 2011). The results of research conducted by (18) said that men are more ages if compared to women.

 

Almost 259 (73.8%) of respondents have low economic and social as much as 92 (26.2%) of respondents have a social economy. The results of this research are consistent with research conducted by (19) are obtained as much as 71.3% of respondents was low socioeconomic status. The results of the same study also suggested that as much as 9.3% of teenagers who are experiencing family poverty in all time periods (20).

 

Low socioeconomic will harm the intellectual and personality development of the children. Children who come from poor parents have a poor education results, the level of external behaviour taller, and more symptoms of depression than children who come from older people with higher income (21).
