Abstract
Present study examined the relationship between resource control strategies, aggression and victimization among university students by using correlational research design. Sample of 300 student with the age range of 20 to30 years was recruited from public universities by using convenient sampling strategy. Resource Control Strategy Inventory (Hawley, 2006) (cite source) and Self Report of Aggression and Social Behavior (Morales, Crick, & Collins, 2002) were instruments used to assess resource control strategies, aggression and to collect data from participants. Results showed significant positive relationship between coercive control strategies and aggression (including both relational, and physical). While prosocial control strategy was found to be positively related with relational aggression and negatively related with the physical aggression. Results from the present study revealed that men students are high on relational aggression, coercive control strategies and overall results reveled students used more prosocial and coercive control strategies to deal with their aggressive behavior.
