It considered three hypotheses 1) There is no significant relationship between Emotional Intelligence and aggression of undergraduate students; 2) There is no significant difference between emotional intelligence of males and female undergraduate students; and 3) There is no significant difference between the aggression of male and female undergraduate student. Seventy five male and seventy five female, with a total of one hundred and fifty, undergraduate students participated in the study. The students ranged in age from 18 to 24 years. Two questionnaires were administered to gather data. All participants completed i) Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale as a measure of emotional intelligence, (Wong & Law, 2002), and ii) Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992), as a measure of aggression. Pearson product-moment correlations were examined indicating an overall significant negative correlation between Emotional Intelligence and Aggression (r = -.212, p < .005). For second and third hypotheses Independent samples t tests indicated significant gender differences with males scoring higher on Aggression (t=5.093, df=148, p<.000) and females scoring higher on Emotional Intelligence (t=-9.487, df =148, p< .000) respectively.
