This study aimed to establish a comparative analysis of university students on their aggressive behaviour and its impact based on the economic situation, family structure, and educational performance. The primary data was collected through a questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The questionnaire targeted independent variables including compensation, family structure, and educational performance. The statistical technique applied to obtain the results is multiple regressions. The findings established that gender and age differences have no impact on Aggressive Behaviour, Family Environment Satisfaction, Educational Performance Satisfaction, and Financial Situation Satisfaction. The aggressive behaviour was found to be both in male and female students. The study recommends that the family environment be given due importance as it aids in shaping students’ personality. Furthermore, aggressive individuals must consciously learn stress management skills to overcome aggression, make the right intellectual decisions, and keep their self-esteem high.
