REPRESENTATION OF AGGRESSION THROUGH LANGUAGE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HOSTILITIES AND DAY SCHOLARS

Abstract

This quantitative study is done to explore the level of aggression through language shown by hostilities and day scholars. The sample consisted of twenty hostel girls and twenty day scholars while the age limit of 20-23 years. Close ended questionnaire was constructed for in-depth interview. Microsoft Excel is used to analyze the data. Then after analysis there aggression level is compared. The results show that day scholars have high aggression than hostel girls. While living in hostel, social circle of students expand. Because in hostel all the students belong to different cities and different regions. Their native tongue are different from each other so they talk in different languages. Sometimes their tone of language and selection of words during conversation negatively affects other’s mood and thus cause aggression. The target person expresses his aggression by hitting, screaming, shouting or by his words. It may be physical or verbal. But the aggression show by hostilities is less than the aggression shown by day scholars. Compromising, responsible and social, theses are few personality characters that are associated with hostel students. But besides this, hostel students are less aggressive than regular day scholars. During their stay in hostels, they know how to suppress their anger, frustration and dislikes. But the students who come from home daily are more aggressive than hostilities. They cannot control their anger and frustration. The results of this research are helpful for those students and parents who consider that hostilities have immature language skills and exhibit high level of aggression. But actual findings show that day scholars are much aggressive. And they show all types of aggression  direct and indirect  as compared to hostilities.
