Identity crisis and aggressive behaviors in adolescents

Abstract

The spread of aggressivity in schools poses a risk on both professors and students; and what we read on the newspapers and see on TV channels is a proof of the propagation of this phenomenon in Algerian society. Proceeding from the above, the aim of our study is to research the causes of this phenomenon in order to address it or at least mitigate its effects. To do so we linked aggressivity to the identity variable and identity problem of adolescent, this later suffers from psychological alienation and loss of self-identity. Moreover, he faces compartmentalization because of the use of the identification with the aggressor in order to maintain his entity. Through the results obtained from the study of six scholars, we show that there is a positive relationship between identity and the
aggressive behavior of adolescent .
