Abstract
The present research studied gender differences in aggression,
acting-out tendencies, and social problem solving styles in boys
and girls. Sample comprised 150 children (75 boys and 75 girls;
ages ranging from 9 to 12 years). The data was collected using
Urdu-version of Social Problem Solving Measure (Mushtaq, 2007;
Dodge, 1986) and The Hand Test (Wagner, 1983) from different
schools of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The results indicate
significant mean differences between boys and girls on aggression,
acting-out scores, and social problem solving styles (p = .05).
Nonsignificant differences were obtained for social problem
solving styles and aggression.
