| dc.description.abstract | The goal of the current study was to ascertain how aggression and empathy related among Addis Ababa University's undergraduate graduating class students. 161 students between the ages of 19 and 27 were selected as a sample from AAU departments. The survey included 89 male students (55%) and 72 female students (45%). Students were divided into two groups for the study's purposes: social science college students (N=78) and natural science college students (N=83). The study employed a cross-sectional research design. Data were gathered using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index and a new aggression questionnaire prepared specifically for this study. In order to analyze the data, the independent-t test and Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient were used. The findings revealed no statistically significant correlation between aggression and empathy. Both males and females showed similar levels of aggression. Students in the Natural Science college showed higher aggression as compared to those in the Social Science college. Students in both Social Science and Natural Science colleges showed similar levels of empathy. Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference between females and males in empathy levels. Given the pressing global significance of aggression, further studies are required to enhance our understanding of this phenomenon. Moreover, it is imperative to thoroughly examine the relationship between aggression and empathy, as it holds significant potential for addressing the prevailing levels of violence worldwide.
