The study aimed to determine the assess role of Emotional Intelligence on Aggression among adolescent high school students. Emotional intelligence is based on the concept of understanding one’s own emotions and that of others. Aggression is categorized by hurtful and destructive behaviour towards others; it seems to oppose the empathetic nature of Emotional Intelligence. This ex-post facto research study involved 38 boys and 38 girls between age group 14 yrs. and 18 yrs. - who got selected through convenient sampling technique. The scales Aggression by Buss & Perry (1992) and Emotional Intelligence by Dr. AK Singh and Dr. Shruti Narayan (2014) have been used to measure the Emotional Intelligence. Pearson’s Correlations, Regression, Two-Way factorial Anova and t tests were used to establish test results. Analysis indicated significant negative relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Hostility (r=-0.328, p<.01). Hostility showed a negative correlation with Empathy and Handling Relations respectively (r= -0.276, p <.01) and (r= -0.318, p<.01). This clearly indicated that Emotional Intelligence or its dimensions increased, the Hostility among students decreased. Empathy and Aggression showed a significant negative relationship (r=-0.231, p <.05) indicating if Empathy among students is more, their Aggression level is controlled. Anger portrayed a negative correlation with Understanding Emotions (r= - 0.261, p <.05). Tukey simultaneous confidence intervals showed significant difference in the confidence interval for the difference between the mean range of LEI and HEI as 5.192 to 12.072. There exists a significant difference in-between group levels of emotional intelligence (HEI, MEI & LEI) on aggression of adolescent male students but not female students. Tukey simultaneous difference between the group on aggression across the various Emotional levels of the male and female students indicated significant difference in LEI and HEI at .05 level.
